Volleyball Team Takes 1st Place
The Varsity volleyball team is the 2011 Inter-Ac Champion. The team went undefeated in league play, closing out the regular season by defeating Springside on Tuesday afternoon. Last Friday the team held their 2nd Annual Dig Pink event, a fundraiser to raise awareness for breast cancer. In a closely played match, the team beat Notre Dame, 3-1, clinching the Inter-Ac title. The team will now participate in the PA Independent Schools Tournament next week. The schedule will be posted on the website once the seedings/schedule is set. We’d love to have as many fans there to cheer on the team!
