Volleyball
On Monday October 6th he girls varsity volleyball team defeated Worcester North 3 – 0. Katelyn Cotnoir had an outstanding day with 16 service points, 4 aces, 1 kill and 10 assists. Allie Leach had 9 service points, 2 aces and 6 assists and Meghan Carroll had 8 kills to contribute to the Tigers win.
On Thursday night the team defeated Nipmuc Regional 3 games to none. The match was perhaps the best performance of the year for the team. They are putting on a push on to get themselves eligible for district play and with strong performances like Thursday night we're confident that they will get there. Thursday night's game was also a fundraiser with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. This event was the Senior Project for Allie Leach and Courtney Cotnoir. Congratulations lady on a wonderful way to support the important work on cancer research.
