CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Heather Kirkpatrick has agreed to chart the 2010 Lady Jacket volleyball season with a weekly blog. READ her first comments.

Kirkpatrick is a sophomore defensive specialist from Huntsville, Ala. She majors in nursing and is a key second-year player after appearing in all 150 sets of last year's 38-match schedule.

For the third consecutive year, all 16 Cedarville varsity athletic teams will be featured in Yellow Jacket Blog Central.

The student-athlete is at liberty to go beyond the competition with their writings. Readers can expect behind-the-scenes details that the casual fan normally doesn't have access to.

Updates will be posted each Monday while the sport is in season.
