At the firs! volleyball game , the crowd was very supportive of the Lady Bisons. They yelled for everyone, but when they would yell for Carla Phillippi she seemed to respond to there wants and wishes more than the other girls. The fans began to yell, "Carla. Carla. Carla. " The louder the crowd yelled the harder Phillippi played and the harder she played the louder the crowd yelled. Phill ippi. from Cincinnati, Ohio, played high school volleyball and basketball. So this summer when she found out the Bisons would have these two sports, she couldn't wait to tryout for one of the new learns. When she returned to schooL she decided to tryout for both sports and she made both of them. "1 hale to run unless I have a ball ill my hands," said Phillippi. "Give me a ball and I will run with it. " Things seemed to center around Phillippi in volleyball. She was nearly always the one serving when the Lady Bisons were down. She seemed to bring them back every time to make things close. When she wasn't se rving the ball she would be near the action most of the time. Of course the fans would respond to her every move. Although the Lady Bisons won only three matches in 1983, Phillippi believed the experience the team ga ined would be beneficial in the years to come. "We haven 't even scratched the surface of what we are capable of doing ," said Phillippi . "I think the team will improve almost 100 percent ove r this year's team. Coach Bailey will be able to recruit some good athletes to come to Harding and we will be able to condition during the spring. This year has been great for me , the other girls, and Harding. We all learned to work together in starting the new program, but we also need to learn to carry this into our everyday life. " ~ Orwid D. Willi VoJleybaJl61
