Volleyball Battles for Over Two Hours to Overcome Caravel, Heads to Quarterfinal
In a thrilling match in front of a very spirited crowd, the Archmere volleyball team battled for over two hours through five sets, claiming victory over Caravel Academy and moving on to the Quarterfinal round of the DIAA State Tournament. The 14th seeded Auks played their strongest volleyball of the night in sets four and five, getting the 3-2 win and a ticket to the second round. Set scores were 22-25, 25-19, 19-25, 25-18, and 15-9.
After being down two sets to one, Mike Lang described the fourth set by writing, "The Auks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth, with Ceci Connolly opening by crushing a ball into the floor, and Ella Strohmaier adding an ace. The final two sets would not be won that easily, but Archmere did not trail after the end of the third. An impressive cross by Katie Kuehl put Archmere up, 18-14. The Bucs scored on an Auks error, but the next three points went to the hosts. Bridget Malloy won a 50/50 ball at the net, Daphne Addo smacked a kill, and Kylee Kluska added another ace to stretch the lead to 21-15. The set ended when a dig by Strohmaier fell to the floor."
