DETROIT - Wayne State University head volleyball coach Phil Nickel has announced that three captains have been selected to lead the 2010 squad.  Senior Maureen MacDonald (White Lake, Mich./Marian), in her second straight season as a captain, will be joined by sophomores Cydney Biessel (Ruby, Mich./Yale) and Katarzyna Sak (Warren, Mich./Cousino).

MacDonald, one of three seniors on the team, will return to the outside hitter position after spending a year at the libero spot. The two-year captain played in every match last season and finished ninth in the GLIAC in digs per set (3.35).

Biessel became WSU's starting setter as a freshman last year and totaled 1,015 assists, 13th-most in school history. She finished fifth in the conference in assists per set (9.58) while contributing 21 service aces, second-most on the team, as well as 170 digs, 51 kills and 45 blocks.

Sak is Wayne State's top returning net player who finished third in the GLIAC with a .305 hitting percentage, tied for 10th-best in school history. An All-GLIAC Honorable Mention selection, Sak was one of only two freshmen to receive all-conference accolades in 2009.

Wayne State will open the 2010 season this weekend at the University of Indianapolis Invitational.
