MONARCH SPORTS Volleyball (continued from page 14) promised it would be a one-year move until he recruited a setter for the 2007 season and Belfanti agreed. Belfanti had thrived at the challenge of digging out powerful shots from opposing hitters and getting to balls that appeared to be put away but she also knew that playing setter would not allow her to dominate the back row, limiting her opportunity to record digs. “Minor setback,” Belfanti joked when asked how the position change affected her statistics. “Coming in as a freshman where you are adjusting to a new place and a new community – to have your coach take you out of your comfort zone – and move me to setter, a position I had not played for three years, it was a real shock. My goal was to kill every back row record and now I was playing a different position. I grew up in a club volleyball environment that made you feel like you should go and not just give 100-percent, you should want to be better than everyone who came before you. When I looked at the school records on the Internet, I wanted to come in here and break every record I could. Setting high goals made me work harder and strive to be better.” Oddly enough, Belfanti also admits that she “hated” the move to setter her first year at King’s, but in the long run, it was what enabled her, Clerici, and Malshefski to become best friends. “Our freshmen year was one of the best we had and I loved it because the three of us were able to gel together so fast,” Belfanti noted. “It forced us to bond and because we had to work well together it brought us together on and off the court. Even though I hated playing setter, we were able to read each other and really made it work. I am just glad we brought in able setters after that so I could get to the back row.” Belfanti recently broke King’s career record of 1,735 digs set Admission Corner Accepted Student Day As your senior year comes to a close and you make your final college selection, we challenge you to explore all that we have to offer to determine if King’s College is the right place for you.

Thank you again for your continued support of King’s College. We look forward to hearing from your child. by Sandy Tarabochia from 1998-2001. She is also the singleseason record holder with 708 kills during a phenomenal 1997 season in which she shattered the previous mark of 585 set by former all-American Jessica McVey in 2002. Belfanti also owns school records for most digs in a three-game match (35); fourgame match (49); and five-game match (45). Her personal best 13 digs in one game is also second all-time at King’s behind Tarabochia’s 16 set against Scranton in 1999. Thanks to the contributions of all three, King’s has posted a 74-39 record during their careers, including three straight berths into the Freedom Conference playoffs. Perhaps more important, true friendships have blossomed between three young women who are as different as their positions on the court. “We meshed and bonded together,” Clerici proudly stated. “If you didn’t know us you would have thought we had been playing together since middle school. It has been a great experience and we have become a family.” For Kachinko, the prospects of losing Clerici, Malshefski, and Belfanti at once will be a major loss to the program. At the same time, he also realizes how lucky he has been to coach all three together. “They were my ’Big Three’ recruits in 2006 and were forced to become leaders at a young age,” Kachinko reflected. “Each is a fiery competitor with great desire to learn and excel. Everything I asked them to do individually they have done and they have been consistent in all they have attempted to do. I could not ask for three nicer people to have on my team and they have been a joy to coach. They will go down as one of the premier players to have played their positions during my time at King’s.” Upcoming Spring Events College For A Day As an accepted student, we invite you to spend a day with us and get a feel for what it’s like to go to King’s College.
