Suffolk University's women's volleyball team currently holds a 7-8 record following a tough mid-season period. The team has faced significant pressure with a 0-3 start against conference opponents.
Why it matters
A combination of injuries to senior captains and a difficult schedule against high-performing teams have hampered the roster's momentum. These challenges forced freshmen to adapt to larger roles earlier in the season than anticipated.
The team holds a 7-8 overall record, a notable slide from their 5-2 start. The group is currently 0-3 in conference play, including a 3-1 loss to Wentworth Technical Institute where they dropped the fourth set 25-9.

Season Trajectory
