Unfortunately they lost the first set 13-25. In the next set, they fell short once again 8-25. We are so proud of how they all played and communicated on the court. The player of the game for C team was Fabiana Dolande-Perez. Fabi was a rockstar and led the team well with communication and encouragement. She was confident and came out of her shell this last game! Great job, Fabi!

She is a friend to all- and a great teammate. Way to go Brynne!

Your A team isn’t done yet, and get to continue playing this weekend in their tournament. A team player of the game this week was Emry Holder. From the beginning of the game to the end, Emry was on fire! She moved her feet to get to every ball, and had some incredible hits and serves. She helped lead and encourage her teammates the entire game. We are so proud of how the teams have improved this season and we are sad it’s over. Thank you for a great season everyone!
