Rowan Women's Volleyball: Joy as Their Secret Weapon

The Rowan women's volleyball team has found success with a record of 18-4, a significant improvement from their 12-10 mark in 2024.

A recent road trip to Union for a matchup against Kean showcased the team's camaraderie. During the 1 hour and 40 minute bus ride, the team enjoyed a Spotify playlist, with songs like "Cry for You" by September, while assistant coach Matt Verlinghieri's choice of Metallica didn't make the cut.

The team's joy and love for each other is evident, with an influx of freshmen and sophomores making a significant impact on the program. Freshman outside hitter Jessica Smart is a notable example, leading the team in kills in her first year.

The reason why Rowan volleyball is making the trip up the New Jersey turnpike at 18-4 – instead of the mark of 12-10 in 2024 – is because it’s a group of 17 girls that love each other.

The team's chemistry and bond have been a key factor in their success, making them a formidable opponent in the league.

Author's summary: Rowan women's volleyball team finds success with joy and teamwork.
