The Falcons traveled to New Jersey this past weekend and played well. Although the squad did not take home the trophy this year, they did play with passion and landed in 7th place overall. I am very proud with the leadership that was displayed in New Jersey.
The tournament started with the Falcons' ending pool play with a record of 6-2 losing to Nationally ranked Eden HS of NY. After losing to Eden in pool play the team had to turn around and play them again in the playoff bracket. The final outcome was the same as Eden took both games, however, the overall play of the team was much improved. After losing in pool play 25-10, 25-8 the Falcons' mounted a comeback and ended up losing to Eden with scores of 25-21 and 25-20. The improvement was lead by the senior leadership of Jenna Campbell, 9 kills and 8 digs in the second match.
At the Junior Varsity level the younger squad continues to soar. They have followed the lead of the Varsity program and have not lost a match to a WCAC opponent this season and have an overall record of 17-1. The leadership of new coaches Kanasha Trent and Tara Vaglica ('03) has molded these young women into a group of volleyball players to be reckoned with.
As Meat loaf once said "2 Outta 3 Ain't Bad" and in this case it is Championships. The Falcons had another great season this year, extending their win streak to 76 in the WCAC, Winning the WCAC Championship for the 4th straight season and Finishing 2nd in the City Championships. Most coaches, players and fans would say that is great and start preparing for next season, not the Falcons as they continued their quest for their 4th MD/DC Private School Championship.
As the fans came to support the Falcons against Paul VI on Halloween they did not know that the Falcons had a treat instored for them. What a treat it was, The Falcons captured their 4th straight WCAC Crown. More impressively, The Falcons have extended their WCAC winning streak to 76 games! The Paul VI Panthers had a tremendous season as well (14-2), with its only 2 losses coming from the Falcons. The Falcons won the WCAC crown in 3 games 25-21, 25-17, 25-21 and was led by Megan Donohoe (14 Kills) and Jenna Campbell (11 Kills).
