DEFENDING THE TITLE
/TexasStateVball @TexasStateVball
BOBCAT BITS
Texas State is coming off the team’s first ever Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship in 2013. The Bobcats have repeated as tournament champions just once, in 2004 and 2005, going back-to-back in the Southland Conference. In its effort to repeat, Texas State will have to do it without three major contributors from the 2013 squad: Amari Deardorff, Ashlee Hilbun and Molly Ahrens. Texas State is also incorporating 10 newcomers in 2014.

SETTER OF THE YEAR
Senior setter Caylin Mahoney was named Most Outstanding Player in the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Tournament, and that respect carried over into 2014 when a poll of the SBC coaches awarded Mahoney with the title of SBC Preseason Setter of the Year. She was the only Bobcat recognized on the Sun Belt’s preseason team. Last year, with 1,256 assists, Mahoney upped her career total at Texas State to 1,591 to move into the top five all-time at Texas State.
TABBED SECOND IN THE SUN BELT
In addition to Mahoney being named the Sun Belt’s Preseason Setter of the Year, Texas State was tabbed second in the conference’s preseason poll, notching three first place votes. The Bobcats finished second to UALR which garnered four first place votes and 110 points to Texas State’s 99. After Texas State in second was new Sun Belt member Georgia Southern in third with two first place votes followed by UT Arlington, South Alabama and UL Lafayette. Another new Sun Belt member, Appalachian State was tabbed seventh followed by Arkansas State, Troy, Georgia State and UL Monroe rounding out the group.
