The volleyball team had a great start to the 2015 season going 5-0, but the team’s level of play has declined.

Winning all five of their first games at the start of their season was great for the players and coaches. The team defeated Miami Country Day, St. Brendan, Pine Crest, and Coral Shores. Their biggest win was on Sept. 10 over rival Ransom Everglades at home. It was not an easy win as it went into 5 sets, but the girls pulled it off against a hard match-up.

Losses to top quality teams such as Palmer Trinity and Westminster Christian helped the team improve on their weaknesses and get back on their winning streak as they approached districts.

“We can improve by communicating better which will have a positive overall impact on the team,” said senior captain Carolina Mengotti.

The mindset and expectations of the team were still the same as they were before.

“I am really excited for our team, We hope to make the best out of it since we have a lot of seniors that we are going to miss next year,” said junior Valeria Londono.

The battle for seeding in the district resulted with the team finishing 2nd in their district during the regular season.

“This was a great season as we continued the progress and improved,” said head coach Ed

Potter.
The team has implemented a multitude of strengths to get to this point, which helped them overcome some of their lesser components.

“Our biggest strength as a team is definitely our offense,” said Potter.

Despite the promising regular season the girls fell to Ransom in the semifinals of districts on Oct. 20.

“It was a heartbreaking loss. Going into districts, we were prepared and excited for the rematch. We gave it our all, but it didn’t work out,” said sophomore Isabella Lamus.

It was a stellar season, however, tough competition led to the team falling short of their ultimate goal.
