  • Nadia Pace​ - Bethune-Cookman University
  • ​Mafa Tuinauvai - San Jose State University
15Blue, 16Blue and 18Blue RANKED NATIONALLY BY PREPVOLLEYBALL!
(Summer 2018) - The 15Blue team coached by Lucas Abbott and Jade Santos have reached the upper echelons of the club volleyball world with the recent announcement by Prepvolleyball in its 2018 Final National 15s Club Rankings, which ranked the team at #45 (of 80 ranked) to end the 2018 season. The 15Blue was the highest ranked 15s team in the NCVA!

The team finished very strongly at the JVA West Coast Cup and AAU Nationals. “This was an athletic raw team at the start of the season. Even they did not know how good they could be, although we knew that they would mature and come together as the season progressed. They surely did and are already in the gym together with their sights set on next season.”
​
Equally impressive are the 16Blue (coached by Daniel Pak, Brett Leggitt and Benny Nguyen) and 18Blue (coached by Andy Schroeder, Jeremy Swann and Paul Harrison) teams with Honorable Mention recognition by Prepvolleyball in their respective age groups. The teams join only Absolute, Delta Valley, NCVC, Rage, Red Rock, Vision from the NCVA in Prepvolleyball's 16s and 18s Club Rankings lists. Congratulations to all! 
THE JOURNEY: A LETTER FROM XCEL ALUM HAILEY LINDBERG
(July 2018) - Breaks my heart to say an early goodbye and medically retire from the sport I fell in love with 10 years ago. Thank you @scuvolleyball for letting me live out my dream. Thank you for all the early mornings, travel trips, van talks, locker room dance parties, pre-workout, sprints, asthma attacks, bruises, squat pr’s, pull-ups, sore legs, the laughs, the cries, the stress, the good, the bad, and everything in between. I will cherish these moments forever! Thank you to all the incredible people I’ve met along the way, and most importantly, to my team!!!!!!! I thank my lucky stars everyday to have had this opportunity and I wouldn’t trade this rollercoaster of a journey in for the world. ❣️ @ Santa Clara University

Andy Schroeder:
Hailey, extremely sorry to hear that you have to walk away from a game that you are such a NATURAL AT!. For me, you're one of the hardest working, most graceful athletes that I had the HONOR of coaching. The best thing is -- you move on knowing you gave the GAME EVERYTHING YOU HAD! More good news, you have a great family and many talents that will take you to wonderful places in this life. I will miss seeing you dominate this year, but I know, you'll be fantastic at whatever you decide to do. In the short 7 months I got to coach, you taught me so much about competitive fire and what being a great Teammate is all about! Thanks again for the honor and privilege to coach you. Good Luck Hailey!!

FANTASTIC FINISHES 
(June 15, 2018) - FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS… FOCUS… WORK HARD… FINISH STRONG… These are just some of the themes and phrases we often hear during competition.

The victories in a tightly contested match or a big tournament are wonderful records of our accomplishments to hang our hats on, but these buzzwords are the little (BIG) things that’s forever.
