Volleyball Moves on to DIAA Quarterfinals with Win over Dover
Archmere’s volleyball team overcame a deficit in the first set, then grew stronger as the night progressed in a 3-0 victory over Dover in the DIAA state volleyball tournament on November 5 at the Mogila Fieldhouse. The Auks, seeded fourth, won by scores of 25-20, 25-18, and 25-16.
After falling behind to start in each of the sets, the Auks rallied with the help of several key players. Mike Lang of the Dialog described the comeback in the final set: "In the third set, Ava Beach '25 crushed a kill, and four straight unforced errors led to a 13-10 Auks lead and a Dover timeout. Alanah Weaver '23 picked up a kill, and the Auks added one more before the 9-0 run ended. The Senators got the deficit down to a single point three times before the Auks pulled away, with Abby Garcia '23 killing three straight and Jessica Lattanzi '23 smacking one straight down. Cece Connolly '24 had consecutive hard kills to get it to set point, and Katie Kuehl '24 won it with a crossing shot from a sharp angle that tucked inside the right sideline."
The Auks improved to 13-3. They will play the fifth seed, Caravel Academy, on Tuesday at Saint Mark’s. Tickets for any post season tournament game must be purchased ahead of time at the DIAA Go Fan site.
