Athletics Edison Community College NJCAA Women's Volleyball

Volleyball Team fell to Jackson CC 3-0 in Sunday's regional semi-final. Edison played well but just didn't have enough to get over the hump losing 25-21, 25-23,25-22.

The Lady Chargers finished their season with a successful 20-10 overall record! Congratulations to the team and coaches for putting out a great year!

The Lady Chargers had a day of highs and lows on their opening rounds of the Region XII Volleyball Tournament. Edison opened up the tournament by what Coach Snider stated was "our best match of the year" by downing Vincennes University 3 games to 1.

Up next for the Lady Chargers was the #1 seed of the tournament and the #8 team in the country, Kalamazoo Valley CC. While Edison had high hopes, the volleyball team just could not get on track and lost in three straight sets.

Edison will play Jackson CC @ 11:00am today in this double elimination tournament. Should Edison win they will face Kalamazoo Valley CC once again @ 1:00pm and must beat them twice to capture the regional championship.

While the volleyball team has their work cut out for them the Lady Chargers are determined to make this day one for the ages!

Volleyball post-season has arrived and our Lady Chargers have had a great season finishing with an overall record of 19-8 and 9-3 in conference play. The team has been ranked as high as #14 in the country and are currently # 21.

Edison will depart tomorrow for the Region XII District Tournament in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The volleyball team received the # 2 seed and will play the winner of the Vincennes University/Jackson CC. match on Saturday at 10:00am. The Lady Chargers will look to capture their third district championship in school history and advance to the national tournament in Wisconsin.

Tomorrow the ladies will be departing from North Hall at 11:15am and be led out of town in style by the Piqua Police. If you have a moment stop by and cheer our team on as they look to add another page to the history books of Edison Volleyball!

Our Edison Chargers have won their last three volleyball matches by defeating Lorain, Cuyahoga, and Lakeland in convincing fashion by defeating all three opponents in three straight sets. The volleyball team’s overall record is 18-7 and 8-2 in conference play.

The Lady Chargers are wrapping up their regular season schedule this week as they get ready for tournament play next weekend.

The volleyball team will host the #6 team in the country, Columbus State C.C. tonight and the nine time defending conference champion Owens C.C. Friday night. Both matches begin at 6:00pm

Go Chargers!

The Edison Volleyball Team will be hosting its 3rd Annual "Dig for a Cure" volleyball game on Wednesday, October 28th @ 6:00pm. The Lady Chargers will be hosting the #5 team in the country, Columbus State Community College.

In addition to a great match the volleyball program will be honoring two cancer survivors from the community, Diane DeBrosse, a 2 year breast cancer survivor and Martha Selle, a 25 year breast cancer survivor. Diane and Martha are the wife and sister of Edison's long time volleyball line judge, Dennis DeBrosse.

To celebrate Diane and Martha's victory over cancer their family and friends will be present for a brief ceremony before the match on Wednesday.

As in years past, the Athletic Department will be raising money at Wednesday night's game to assist in the fight against cancer. The Volleyball Team will be selling "Dig for a Cure" t-shirts in the cafeteria next week for $5 as well as raffle tickets for special prizes to be given away at the game. Half of all the proceeds from the t-shirt sales and raffles will go to UVMC Cancer Center to be used for women who do not have insurance to pay for mammograms.

Please consider attending the match on Wednesday night or purchasing a t-shirt to help support this worthy cause and our Lady Chargers.

Go Chargers!

October 6, 2009--

After a 11 day layoff, the volleyball team resumed conference play last week. The team traveled to Owens C.C. and lost in a tough 5 game match to the 9 time defending conference champions. Edison then got on the bus this past weekend to travel to Cleveland to take on Cuyahoga, Lakeland, and Lorain Community Colleges where the Lady Chargers found themselves dominating their opponents by winning in three straight games in all of their matches.

The volleyball team will take their 14-6 overall record and their 4-1 conference record to Dayton on Wednesday where they will play Sinclair in a rematch from three weeks ago where Edison won in three straight games. Go Chargers!

September 17, 2009--

Our nationally ranked Lady Chargers opened up conference play last night by defeating Sinclair in three straight games, 25-21, 25-21, 25-15. Edison improves their overall record to 11-1 and 1-0 in conference play. The volleyball team also moved up one spot in the latest NJCAA Division II poll to #14.

Edison will now head into their toughest challenge of the season to this point by playing in Wittenberg Universities "Battle of the Border" Tournament this weekend. The Lady Chargers will face nationally recognized and ranked varsity programs at the NCAA Division III level. While Edison is certainly playing "up" this weekend it gives the team the opportunity to play against some great competition and prepare them for post season play.

Go Chargers!

September 10, 2009 --

Edison received national recognition yesterday as the Lady Chargers were ranked #15 in the latest NJCAA Division II volleyball polls. This national ranking comes while the volleyball team has posted a 9-1 record to this point. They Lady Chargers have earned quality wins against three nationally ranked teams thus far and have competed against some our region’s toughest programs.

The volleyball program has made great strides in the past few years. In 2006 and 2007 Edison competed at the Division III (non-scholarship) level while finishing as national runner-up in 06 and in the national final four in 07. After seeing the need to grow the program, Edison made the leap to Division II (scholarship level) in 2008. It certainly did not take long for the Lady Chargers to impact the national scene at the Division II level. This speaks to the level of coaching in addition to the quality of student-athletes the volleyball program has had since the inception of the program.

While there is a strong schedule ahead, this nationally ranking marks a significant point of growth for the program. Coach Snider-Dearth and her team look forward to the challenges that lie ahead of them the rest of this season.

Edison’s next game will be Saturday when they travel to OSU-Newark @ 1:00pm. The volleyball team’s next home game will be next Wednesday @ 6:00pm against Sinclair. Go Chargers!

September 9, 2009--

The Edison Volleyball Team had another strong outing this past weekend at the Owens Invitational. The Charger’s downed Mott C.C., Macomb C.C., Lansing C.C., and Oakland C.C. with their only loss coming to the #10 team in the country, Hagerstown C.C.

The volleyball team improves their overall record to 9-1. Their next match will be this coming weekend when we take on OSU-Newark. The team’s next home game will be next Wednesday September 16 @ 6:00pm as we look to defeat our rivals from the south, Sinclair. Go Chargers!
