The 2011 Lady Mustang Volleyball team was very successful. Although initially looking like a slim year for players, 2011 brought Currey Ingram 14 eager Varsity Volleyball players. Before the first game of the season, the team collectively redefined the word "win." This team defined winning as: 1) Having fun, 2) Trying their best, 3) Playing as a team, 4) Learning something, 5) Having the score in their favor. At the end of each game, the team gathered in the corner of the gym and analyzed the game using these five points. If the team scored at least three out of the five points for that game, it was considered a win. Using this criteria, this team ended the season 8-2.
This year's Varsity Volleyball team consisted of four seniors, four sophomores, and six freshman, as well as one dedicated team manager. From the very first game, it was apparent that this team would accomplish many great things. Although, many of the players had never played volleyball before, team members gelled together and grew in their on-court skills. It was wonderful to see the excitement and enthusiasm of these players as they played each game. Many times coaches and fans of opposing teams complimented the overall attitude and work ethic of these players. These qualities, along with the redefined winning attitude, propelled this team to a 6-4 divisional record. This gave them the second seed in the MTAC South heading into the conference tournament.

Team members were Hannah Cullum, Raquel Raines, Mitchell Bonner, Angie Haynes, Joy Dodd, Savana Floyd, Jenna Staehling, Mimi Hanai, Elena Carmichael, Emmie Schmidt, Ellen Mazzone, Morgan Clark, Ali Spencer, and Sydney Wiatr. Additionally, Hunter Haynes tirelessly volunteered as the team's manager, statistician, and practice assistant.
