Girls' Volleyball Team Set for Another Successful Season
Mike Lang, reporter for The Dialog, recently previewed the Archmere girls' volleyball team in advance of their first game at home on Friday at 5:15 p.m. against the defending Henlopen North Conference champions, the Smyrna Eagles.
"As in any high school program, they face change on a yearly basis, but Archmere consistently remains among the state’s elite. The team returns four seniors this year and also features a number of juniors and a sophomore who contributed to the team’s success last year. In addition, they welcome a sophomore transfer, and two freshmen cracked the varsity roster."
The article goes on to quote senior setter Sydney Niumawaitalu, stating “We have the same coach and the same structure, and she expects the same out of every team no matter who we have.”
The Auks compete in the Diamond State Athletic Conference, which includes Conrad, Delaware Military Academy, Wilmington Charter, Red Lion and Newark Charter. The non-conference lineup, besides Smyrna, features home matches against Cape Henlopen, St. Mark’s, Tower Hill and Ursuline, and they travel to Friends and Padua.
