The leader in the locker room will be Alexis Bodunrin, who led the team with 318 kills and 231 digs a year ago. She was named first-team, all-district.
Other key returners include Natalia Kacprzak (59 kills, 34 digs, 23 blocks) and Katherine Liepman (53 kills, 47 digs).
Keys to success for Searcy's group in 2021 include "great defense, serve-receive, communication, trusting teammates and being physically ready to hit the gym floor on day one".
The Falcons could claw their way to a deep playoff run again in 2021.

Senior Kayla Wilson (2.7 kills per set) and 6-foot-1 sophomore outside hitter Dominique Phills (2.7 kills per set) are back to lead the attack.
Senior outside hitter Aria Rideaux (2.3 kills per set) and senior middle Deja Benjamin (2.2 kills per set) add depth and playmaking around Wilson and Phills. Rideaux (2.1 digs per set) and senior defensive specialist Ella Hestand (3.2 digs per set) will dictate the defense.
The Sharks will have to find someone to step in at setter. The versatile Hestand is a possibility.
