Cvoric, Smith bid Adieu to
Chap Center Fans
Just prior to their final-ever appearance at the
Chaparral Center, MC sophomore volleyball players, Dragana Cvoric and Victoria Smith, fought
the emotion of the day by locking into the task at
hand. That task was to finish the regular season
with a win versus New Mexico Military Institute.
Midland College entered the contest with 21-wins
including going 8-1 in the WJCAC and winning
the conference title for the third consecutive season. When the match concluded, Midland College
chalked up their 22nd win of the season against six
losses and a final WJCAC record 9-1.
The afternoon’s activities began with an introduction of the two departing second year players.
Cvoric, a 6’0” outside hitter from Guca, Serbia was
clearly moved when the Serbian National Anthem
was played as she draped her country’s flag over her
shoulders and back. Gaga, as she is affectionately
called by her teammates, recorded 126 total kills
(team leader) and 99 digs (team leader) during
the 2012 conference schedule. Cvoric was also
the 2011 MVP of the Western Conference. The
always stoic Smith, a 6’1” rightside hitter from
Odessa, recorded 59 kills and 16 blocks in conference this season.
Dragana Cvoric escorted by Barbara and Joseph Willis
Combined Cvoric and Smith recorded a two-year
record of 39-19 overall and 18-2 in the WJCAC.
The records include winning consecutive conference titles and advancing to the 2011 NJCAA
Region V West finals.
