It’s a brand new era for Westcliff Women’s Volleyball, with new head coach Andy Cole taking over for Kenny Ma, who moved up to NCAA D1 Weber State in the offseason. Coming off a runner-up finish in the Cal Pac tournament, Cole isn’t the only new face around Irvine, so it’s an exciting time to learn about and be around Warrior volleyball. The season is just around the corner, so now is your opportunity to learn some new names and see what’s just ahead for one of Westcliff’s headlining programs.

Before we talk volleyball, topics range from World Cup Soccer, to NFL running back woes, and even everyone’s favorite punching bag, Jake Paul!
