This year, we\u2019re fighting for a one- or a two-seed for the big dance, so it\u2019s been a complete 180 from an unknown to, \u2018It\u2019s in our hands.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Royals played their last home stand to a large and enthusiastic crowd March 24, thumping Alvernia University 3-0, but then lost at Juniata College on Tuesday, which puts the now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mvball\/2016-17\/releases\/20170328n71cjo\">No. 11-AVCA-ranked<\/a> Eastern Mennonite to 19-8 on the season, including 8-3 in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecvc.org\/landing\/index\">Continental Volleyball Conference<\/a> (CVC). The team ends the regular season with four more straight road matches, starting today [March 31] at Cairn University.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\">Unselfish players who are friends on and off the court have come together to creating a winning culture, says interim head coach Ross Madden.<\/aside>\n<p>The team aims to secure the program\u2019s first-ever bid into the four-team CVC Tournament. But they\u2019ve already made history, having equaled the 2002 and 2006 teams for the second-most wins in program history.

That\u2019s because six members are from the Richmond area, where they played together on teams or at least in pickup games; two others also have backgrounds in a common club.<\/p>\n<p>Interim head coach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mvball\/coaches\/index\">Ross Madden<\/a> said that knowing each others\u2019 individual strengths and vulnerabilities makes for a tight team. \u201cThey have to know exactly how their teammates will react to the play, within half a second,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It also takes direct, verbal communication. Junior <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mvball\/2016-17\/bios\/buller_micah_j6cx?view=bio\">Micah Buller<\/a>, a biochemistry major from Richmond, remembers a players\u2019 meeting near the end of last year\u2019s season that put things into perspective for the team: every last member needed to be all-in.

When one teammate started missing classes, \u201cwe literally all ganged up on him one day in a nice way and were like, \u2018It\u2019s got to stop,\u2019\u201d said Abele. \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s missed a class since.

If they\u2019re not there, then it hurts the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Brigham says, the experience is teaching teammates about how to work together, how to analyze a situation, and decide when and if it\u2019s necessary to step into a mediation or leadership role.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a different approach from just blind pursuit of glory; it\u2019s unselfish volleyball.
