The Lady Wolves volleyball team hosted an alumni game last Monday, Dec. 23. The volleyball team officially ended their season back in November after competing in regionals. The alumni game is a longstanding tradition for the team to close out the year, testing their skills against former players and other community volunteers.
The evening opened with a hard fight by both teams. In the first game, the alumni team managed to take an early lead, but were quickly passed by the Lady Wolves. The game was marked by both teams staying neck-and-neck with their scores up until the very end. The game was tied 21-21 when the alumni team finally managed to pull ahead. The final score was 23-25, a win for the alumni team. The second game was another win for the alumni team, who claimed a narrow lead early on and held it through the whole game.
The third game was much like the first, with both teams staying close to each other in their scores. The alumni team took the lead first, but were overtaken by the Lady Wolves shortly after. While both teams continued to rack up points, the high schoolers were able to maintain their lead. The final score was 25-21, a win for the Lady Wolves.
The fourth game went to the alumni team.
The Lady Wolves scored first, but like all the previous games, it was a hard fight. Near the end, however, the alumni team pulled ahead and managed to claim victory, with a score of 13-15. Having then won three out of five games, the alumni team claimed overall victory.
