The
varsity volleyball team traveled to Falmouth to participate in Falmouth Play
Day on Saturday, August 31st. Falmouth Play Day featured volleyball
teams from around the state that played in scrimmages followed by tournament
play. The teams played in matches for 25 minutes or to 25 points, whichever
happened first.
In a
day filled with spikes and cheers from the volleyball courts, Windham played
very well. A tough competitor, the Lady Eagles were aggressive in every game.
They scrimmaged Falmouth, South Portland and York in the morning. Windham had
high intensity in every match they played. They volleyed well as a team and
individually. In two of the three games they were neck and neck with their
opponents.
When it
came time for the single elimination playoff rounds, Windham took on South
Portland first. The Lady Eagle’s intensity never wavered, as there was high
energy on and off the court. Windham took an early lead and shortly the two
teams were neck and neck. The Lady Eagles blocked well during this match. It
wasn’t long before Windham had a significant lead. Windham advanced to the
second round after a score of 25-13.
York
was the Lady Eagles’ next competitor. York took an early lead, but Windham was
not far
behind. They caught up to York quickly and tied the game at 12. The
Lady Eagles battled hard and didn’t let York get too far ahead, but in the end,
couldn’t catch them. Final 25-17, York.
“It was
a fun day,” stated Coach Christ Cloutier. “It got better as the day went on,
I’m pretty happy about that. We have some good matches coming and we have the
talent. Now we have to come together as a team.”
