As the fall season grows dark, only one team survived as an undefeated team, until Wednesday. The Girl’s Volleyball Team put up an unbelievable mark and made it to 13-0 before losing in a tight game with Exeter. The final score of the match was 3 games to 1 for Exeter. Worcester won the first game but afterwards could not get past the Exeter team. While they are a Class A opponent, the Worcester Academy girls put in a fantastic effort, winning the first game against the tough team. Even though the rest of the game did not go quite as planned, the team is adjusting well to the loss. As captain Christina Cervini stated: “We would rather lose now and learn from the loss than experience it for the first time in the playoffs”. Spoken as a true leader of the team, Cervini is a 4-year player who plans to continue on into college. While the loss certainly affected her, she still says volleyball is “awesome” and hopes the team can make it all the way to the championship.
Middle hitter and powerful blocker Molly Munroe was equally upset about the loss as her teammate but found solace in the fact that “ we have already beaten a Class a team and seeing as that was one of our goals, it is a great accomplishment.” Certainly a positive out-look, the team is moving forward at a 13-1 record, moving there way towards the coveted class B championship. The team has a superb chemistry. When asked what her favorite part about volleyball was, Molly Munroe replied with: “ Anna Clifford”, who is her setter and therefore the gateway to her points. The entire team respects each other greatly and finds a way to pick each other up after a tough point or loss. As the team approaches the end of the season, their goal of “ Winning the Class B championship and beating a class a team” is halfway to success. Molly Munroe’s goals are the same as the teams. If they keep up on the pace they are on now they could finish out the season as champions and complete their goals from the beginning of the season.
