Baker volleyball coach Warren Wilson will have many new faces when the Bulldogs take the floor this season.

The Bulldogs return just three players who saw much action a year ago.

Seniors Jordan Rudolph and Kourtney Lehman and junior Kaeli Flanagan are the trio of returning players.

Another senior, Christina Maldonado, returns after missing last season due to a leg injury.

Three juniors and two sophomores round out the varsity roster.

The juniors are Carson Lien, Desi Davis and Kaylee Burk, who returns to Baker from Powder Valley.

The sophomores are Jamie Ramos and Abby Baker.

Wilson said Paige Pearce and Gussie Cook will rotate between the varsity and junior varsity squads.

“Our strength is our hitting,” Wilson said.

“We have several girls who can hit the ball and our defense is tough.”
