UO Volleyball
Over the course of a three-day team retreat in the Oregon wilderness, UO volleyball players showed both a warrior’s mentality as well as the ability to cooperate and analyze a situation in the best interest of the team. With less than 24 hours before taking part in their first fall practice, the team was navigating rapids on the McKenzie River. For most, what is a fun and relaxing time to enjoy Oregon’s beauty was turned into a battle as the players and coaching staff armed themselves with buckets and squirt guns, forming alliances and double-crossing along the way. The team hiked to its camp spot at Moraine Lake on Friday when it spent the night. In the days leading up to the trip, Coach Jim Moore told the team nothing different than they would be hiking up the South Sister over the course of two days.
