Saint Stephen’s Falcons win match against Braden River Pirates

Tuesday’s volleyball game against Braden River Pirates marked another victory for the Falcon’s varsity volleyball team.

Pleased with the win, varsity volleyball Coach Shameka Walker said,  “[The players] did what ever it took the entire time.”

Falcon’s blocker senior Tori Biach successfully executed several fake-out spikes, which helped the Falcons win the second match, while team captain senior Melissa Johnson went on a serving spree during the same match, serving twenty consecutive points in a row.

The net blockers did their job denying many spikes from the Pirates, and throughout the game the Falcons led by several points; the Pirates did not take more than a three-point lead the entire game.

The Falcons won three matches straight, the third match score ending  25-13.

Walker said the team play was unbelievable. “They were very aggressive, and they just wanted to win really badly. [The team showed] strong defense, strong serving, [and] it all just worked together,” she said.

“Even though they had a slow start, they did not give up. They just kept pressing forward by coming together as a team,” she said.
