The gym was crowded as the seniors on the CdM volleyball team walked through a column of balloons. It was senior night and the League Championships as the CdM Sea Queens faced the Beckman Patriots. In three straight games, the girls beat Beckman and were crowned number one in the league.

Seniors Madie Smith, Sydney Brombal, Sara Folks, Amanda Nickel, and Bryn Hastings were all honored by being announced to the crowd as they walked through a parade of balloons with their parents. As the crowd went wild for the seniors, the Sea Queens were ready to defeat Beckman.

The first game was won quickly and easily for the girls. With all the seniors working together throughout each point, they were unbeatable. Seniors Hastings and Folks had various digs and passes as well as many kills hit by senior Brombal and junior Hailey Senske.

“All of the seniors played so well together! they were on fire,” said Megan Griffin.

The second game  was a breeze for the Sea Queens. They got a vast lead in the beginning with the help from juniors Morgan Boukather and Catherine Sullivan with numerous kills and digs.

The last game of the match was won with much more difficulty than the first two. This third game determined if the girls would be League Champions. With the assistance from each and every player on the court, the Sea Queens managed to conquer Beckman with a final score of 25 to 18. 

The CdM girls varsity volleyball team is now number one in the league. They remained undefeated, and have won ten games overall with no losses. 

“I am thrilled that we are now the champions! I can’t wait for the Battle of the Bay because I know it’s going to be a challenging game,” said junior Katelyn Baker.

Come and support the girls varsity volleyball team on Friday, November 6 at Newport Harbor for the Battle of the Bay.
