at seven. Head coach Jen SimonEddie says depth is one of the strengths
of this team this season. WhatI think is great and kind of unique
about our program this year is we'reactually going to have depth in every area
of the field, and so whenthere's not one or two people to look

out for, you're harder to playagainst. I think we'll be able to
mix and match our lineup. We'llbe able to rotate players in and out
of the starting lineup, bring differentpeople on you as subs, and so
I hope that that's something that makesus dangerous, something that is hard to
defend, hard to prepare for.The zip's next home game is Sunday at
one against Northern Illinois, and itsrivalry weekend for the Akron volleyball team as
