As the 2026 season gets underway, VSN Space Coast spotlights the Merritt Island volleyball team as our first VSN "Sports Extra."
Coming off a State runner up finish and 29-3 season, the Mustangs feel they have some unfinished business this year.
With local coaching legend Angie Patrick (fresh off her 500th career win last season) at the helm and Division I commits Ema Michell (Georgia) and Lydia Scott (Akron) leading the way this team looks laser-focused on making another state title run.
