On Tuesday, Oct. 17, Freshman volleyball played the Manor Mustangs in a two set sweep , ending with the Warriors winning both sets by a considerable margin.

They continued to hold the lead by a large margin, only letting the Mustangs catch up a little bit towards the end, before finishing the game off 25-17.

“I think the player Sophia Nikazm stood out a lot because she was always there covering tips and she was just amazing overall,” Emily Rice ‘27 said.
