Trifonov anticipates a ready FAMU volleyball team

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Tony Trifonov will learn on Tuesday just how well his Florida A&M volleyball team adhered to its offseason workout plan.

FAMU opens practice on Tuesday, three weeks before its first match in the University of Florida Tournament.



“I will see on the first day of practice how much they have done over the summer and how much time they’ve spent in the weight room,” said Trifonov, whose team won nine consecutive conference titles before hitting its recent dry spell.

“You would think that coming off a second-place finish in the conference tournament they would try to do a little bit extra so that we could return to the tradition of winning championships.”
