Viera wants Deer volleyball program to take next step

Getting to the playoffs hasn’t been a problem for the Comfort Deer volleyball program under coach Norma Viera, however getting past the opening round is another issue.

Comfort has been knocked out of the postseason in the first round the last three years and five times in the last six seasons and Viera is ready for the program to take the next step.

“I hate that one-and-done mentality. I’m trying to get away from that, that’s not good enough,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll get over that hump. The mentally is still there, ‘we can hang with them, but we can’t beat them.’ We need to try to get past that mentality.”
