Our 7th grade girls played Newton last night in a fun set of games. Our A team showed great improvement and worked together really well as a team. They lost two close sets versus a very good Newton team. Our B team put on a serving masterclass, successfully getting over 90% of their serves over the net. Isla Robinson led the way with impressive passing and a positive attitude. Tenley Graf also scored 8 individual points in a 3 set loss. Our C team also showed a lot of improvement. Zoe Soderquist and Sannvi Hegde led the way with great communication and passing. Come support us on Monday as we have our last home game against Goddard!

Last night, our 8th grade volleyball teams traveled to Newton!

Our A team was challenged in the first set, but came together and fought hard for a win in 3. Kendall Helm had multiple kills that couldn’t be returned and Haley Crozier played defensively all around the court.

B team had 2 really close sets, but unfortunately ended in a loss. Whitney Hester had some really smart plays at the net and great serves. Sami Stephan also had some great digs that helped out the team.

C team won in 2 sets and played one of their best games of the season! All girls are continuing to improve every week. Adaline Kacinski really served it up last night, getting our team a total of 9 points just from her serve alone. Avery Downing also played well at the net, making it difficult for Newton to return the ball.

Great job to all three teams! Semi-finals are coming up next week, we can’t wait to see how you do!!!
