On October 27th the Archmere volleyball team traveled to Delaware Military Academy to take on the Seahawks on their home court, defeating them in 5 sets. After winning the first two sets, Archmere was put on defense as DMA took the next two and the night took a thrilling, back and forth turn.
The Dialog describes the last few exciting points in detail, writing: "DMA led, 12-10, when Archmere went on a bit of a run, and the Seahawks were three points from completing the comeback. Archmere scored on a Delaware Military Service error, giving the serve to Colleen McCann. Ava Scarpaci tied it with a smash to the far right corner, and the Seahawks called timeout. The Auks took the lead on a hitting error, but Morgan Giofre knocked one off the tape to level the score at 13. Lydia Scarpaci found a hole in the DMA defense with a tip over the net, setting up match point. The teams went into another long rally, which was the order of the evening, before it came to an end."
Senior Ava Scarpaci led Archmere with 11 kills, while Hannah Wright had 32 digs. Sophomore Jess Lattanzi and junior Hope Merritt each posted five blocks. The Auks, now 2-0, will host MOT Charter on Thursday October 29th at 6:15 p.m.
