Penguins Wrap Up Successful Camp Season, Set Sights on Fall

    Youngstown -- More than 550 individuals participated in the annual Youngstown State Volleyball Summer Camp Series over the last two weeks on campus.

    More than 50 teams from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New York participated in the two team camps, and more than 40 girls took part in the three-day individual skills camp.

    "I'm very pleased that we continue to expand our camps and the region we draw from," YSU head volleyball coach Joe Bonner said. "Many sectional, district and state finalists have come through our camp over the last couple years."

    Martina Davis, Suzanne Lasseigne and Angela Roidt, YSU's three National Letter of Intent signees for 2009, were all on campus for the individual camp and took part in the team's photo day on July 17.

    Now that the camp season has ended, Bonner and the Penguins will turn their attention to the upcoming 2009 season. The team reports to campus on Aug. 10, and the season opener is set for Aug. 28 against Villanova. The Penguins return 11 letterwinners, four starters and their libero from last season.
