Rowan Women's Volleyball: Joy as Their Secret Weapon
The Rowan women's volleyball team has been on a roll, with a current record of 18-4, a significant improvement from their 12-10 mark in 2024.
During a recent road trip to play against Kean, the team's camaraderie was on full display. As they traveled up the New Jersey Turnpike, they enjoyed a Spotify playlist, with songs like "Cry for You" by September, and even got their assistant coach, Matt Verlinghieri, involved, although his Metallica choice didn't make the cut.
The team's success can be attributed to the strong bond between the players, who genuinely love and support each other. The influx of freshmen and sophomores over the last two years has had a significant impact, with freshman outside hitter Jessica Smart leading the team in kills in her first year.
The reason why Rowan volleyball is making the trip up the New Jersey turnpike at 18-4 – instead of the mark of 12-10 in 2024 – is because it’s a group of 17 girls that love each other.
The team's joy and love for each other has become their secret weapon, driving their success on the court.
