Big 12 volleyball teams set up NU for possible loss ^ VOLLEY from page 3 Oklahoma will rely on four return ing starters, including senior outside hitters Patrice Arrington and Melissa Peterson. “I don’t dare look into my crystal ball and predict what will happen throughout the conference this season,” said Texas A&M coach Laurie Corbelli. “I think that a lot of the teams are depending on certain individuals and if they aren’t there, it will be a total ly different story.” With several talented and experi enced athletes in the conference, it is difficult to determine a preseason MVP. Most coaches agree that the Huskers’ Lisa Reitsma and Fiona Nepo, Texas’ Demetria Sance and Texas A&M’s Kristie Smedsrud will dominate.
