Matt Briskey, Senior Captain
"Off the Court" with Matt Briskey is an inside look at the Men's Volleyball team. We may see what happens on the court, but this column takes an inside look at Wittenberg's newest team, compiled by fellow Wittenberg student-athlete, Stephanie Glass.
Matt Briskey is the only senior member of the team, and was selected by the team as captain. He has been devoted to Tiger Men's Volleyball from the very beginning, first as a member of club volleyball, and now as a leader of the varsity team. Matt will give us weekly updates on what Wittenberg Men's Volleyball is all about. This week, Matt will introduce himself and his team, "Off the Court."
SG: What is your major?
MB: I am a triple major in Business Finance, Economics, and Chinese
SG-What are your plans after graduation?
MB: I would like to gain work experience, than eventually go back to school to get my MBA in a couple of years.
SG: What is your favorite volleyball memory?

SG: What makes your team special?
MB:The ability to set a precedent and tradition. This is the first [Men's Volleyball Team], so we are able to lay the foundation for future teams.
