The Sea Queens could not handle the tidal wave that the Breakers brought in the form of a volleyball match. CdM fell to Laguna in three games.

The first game began in favor of the Breakers; CdM got off to a slow start, losing by six points right away. The Sea Queens attempted to fight back with kills by juniors Hailey Senske, Morgan Boukather, and seniors Amanda Nickel and Sydney Brombal. However, these efforts were not enough to win the game.

“We got off to a really slow start, and it really hurt us in the end,” said senior Madie Smith.

To start off the second game, Mary McKennon served the first ace of the match, followed by another kill by Senske. Madie Smith and Claire Ham were blocking machines and Brombal had several kills. However, the Breakers seemed to be too much for the Sea Queens. The final score ended up 25 to 22 with another loss for CdM.

“The second game was such a close game, and I’m really bummed we lost,” said junior Catherine Sullivan.

The atmosphere changed when the third game began, and the Sea Queens got off to a rocky start and were soon down to 17 to 9.

The Sea Queens ended up losing their third game with a score of 25 to 18. CdM added to their score from kills by Senske, Ham, and Brombal, and digs from Katelyn Baker.

“The team as a whole maintained a positive and focused attitude throughout the whole game and although Laguna triumphed over the mighty Sea Queens, one defeat won’t ruin their perfect season,” said freshman Shannon Griffin and sophomore Ashley Kelegian.

“ I was really sad that we lost, but hopefully we can beat them next year,” said junior Megan Griffin.
