The DCTC Blue Knights Volleyball program is at the mid point of an exciting rebuilding season. With a much larger and talented roster, the team has depth at every position, creating an environment that is fun, competitive, and full of energy. This surge in talent and enthusiasm is a big step in establishing a new, winning culture for the Blue Knights.

Despite facing tough opponents, the DCTC athletes have consistently risen to the challenge, playing with passion and aggressiveness. Head Coach John Olmanson shared his thoughts on the season so far: “At times, the result at the end of some matches isn’t what we hope for but that doesn’t always reflect the level of our athletes’ effort and their execution of our game plan.” His emphasis on growth and execution speaks to the heart of this rebuilding process.

While the team continues to develop, this season has marked a turning point for the Blue Knights. The athletes have laid a strong foundation for a more competitive future, focusing on improving with each match. With the second half of the season ahead, the Blue Knights are working hard to secure more victories and position themselves for a spot in the NJCAA Region XIII Tournament.

The team’s drive and determination have sparked a wave of excitement around the program. As they continue to grow and compete at a high level, the future looks bright for DCTC Blue Knights volleyball. Keep cheering them on as they aim to make their mark in the region!
