Junior Volleyball Victory!

Junior Volleyball Victory!

On Tuesday, December 10, Hawthorn’s U14 Division 3 volleyball team arrived at Greenwood College School ready to serve. Our Grade 6-8 girls were not in the least daunted by the mostly Grade 8 teams whom they faced.

Our first game was vs. Ridley College: we won the first set 25 to 22. Unfortunately, we lost our second set 25 to 18, pushing us to a tie breaking third set and making the game even more exciting. We came out with the win with 25 to 17!

Our second game was against the hosting school, Greenwood! We won both sets: the first set was 25 to 15. The second set started with us winning, however at one point in the game Greenwood caught up, leaving us trailing behind, 20 to 23 FOR THEM!

But then one of our players, Paola, came in to not only tie us up but to bring us the win with five consistent serves! The final score was Hawthorn 25, Greenwood 23. The referee, as well as the other team, acknowledged and congratulated Paola’s game play and serves!
