The Girls Volleyball team is  heading to the end of the season on a roll, with three straight-set wins last week. On Tuesday, 10/18, the Avengers beat Cranston West with game scores of 25-22, 25-17, and 25-20. They beat Mount Saint Charles on Thursday, 25-23, 25-19, and 25-21. They went on to beat Cumberland in a non-league match Friday for Senior Night, 25-19, 25-19, and 25-17. 

“The seniors ran the show on Friday night and had an awesome time. After Senior Night speeches, the girls were teary eyed and emotional but they readied themselves for the match and played with lots of hustle and aggression,” said Coach Sam Paquette. “We had a total of 15 aces for the match! The team has been turning it up lately with energy and game-time performance. I’m pumped to see how they do in our final week of in-season play and then play-offs!”

“We are definitely feeling good about our last few games because we really brought the consistency that we’ve been looking for throughout the rest of our games,” said team co-captain Melis Kocak. “We definitely have a big game this week against Coventry which could mean grabbing that number one seed before playoffs which would be huge for us. We hopefully can continue this consistency and finish out the regular season in a good spot for playoffs.”
