Clinton volleyball coach Morgan Hickman has been seeking a culture that does not just hope to win but expects to win.

Going into this fall, it's the culture of the program she feels is one of its strengths as the 2023 season opens this week. She feels the players she has returning know the expectations.

Coach Hickman likes her team this year and believes the experience some of her players got last year and over the summer is starting to show up this fall.

Clinton travels to Flanagan-Cornell for a non-conference matchup to open its season on Thursday.
