Archmere Volleyball Makes it to Quarterfinals of State Tournament
"Padua and Archmere went toe-to-toe for more than two and a half hours on the evening of Nov. 5 in a DIAA volleyball quarterfinal. The Pandas had swept the Auks at Archmere earlier in the season, but it was clear from the get-go that Tuesday night would be different. The match was marked by top-notch defense and long rallies."
After a round one bye, and a win against Charter in round two of the State Volleyball Tournament, Archmere met up with Padua in a thrilling back and forth quarterfinal match that lasted over 2.5 hours. The set scores were 25-22, 23-25, 29-27, 26-28 and 15-6. All but the final set were nail-biters until the final point. Senior Julia Kochie finished an outstanding high school career with 22 kills, five blocks and 26 digs. Senior Abby Kates had 10 kills and five blocks, while sophomore Maddie Fisher and junior Hannah Wright each collected 33 digs. The Auks ended their season with a record of 12-5. Congratulations to the Archmere volleyball team on an outstanding season!
