GOING FOR A 2ND CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

ELKTON, MD - Tri-State Christian Academy plans to continue where they left off after an incredible 2021 campaign, capturing the Mid-Atlantic Independent League Championship and finishing the season with an impressive 20-1 record.

Despite graduating All-County setter Skylar Klinger, the Crusaders are stacked with players ready to step into the role at any given time.

“We have six or seven girls who can jump in at any point to set. It’s a good problem to have,” said first year head coach Andy Mussaw. While the setter position is not set in stone, you can count on another productive season from All-County hitter Baylie Thomas.

“She makes something out of every set that comes her way” remarked Mussaw. Thomas will lead her team as co-captain alongside honorable mention Etta Harris. “Etta is such a stand-up player, she’s also very volleyball focused” Mussaw noted. Harris will return to middle while All-County player Jules Harris will move over to offside, utilizing her blocking skills more efficiently. Mussaw also sees big things for senior Hope

With a ton of talent and experience returning, look for Tri-State Christian to make a trip back to the MIL playoffs this November. “They’re already a great team” said Mussaw, “I want to challenge them even more.”
