The Lady Lawmen recently wrapped up their volleyball season.

With a record of 6-14 this year, the team improved from last year. Their six wins came against Hillhouse (twice), North haven (twice), West Haven, and Shelton.

“Some games we got lazy and didn’t move our feet enough which costs us easy wins,” senior captain Kailee Frank said.

Key players on the team include juniors Kristin Frank, Cassidy Boath, and Angela Sciuto, as well as sophomores Colleen Goodwin and Stephanie Felag. The girls are already excited for next year’s season.

“Talking is a big part of volleyball, it makes the game so much easier,” junior setter Kristin Frank said.

Junior Cassidy Boath was a key part of the varsity team as the libero. She recently went All-SCC and has improved immensely throughout the season. Boath had 311 digs and a 93 serving percentage.

“It feels really great to know that my hard work helped me achieve this,” Boath said. “I couldn’t have done it without the support from my coaches and teammates throughout the season.”

In order to qualify for the state tournament teams need eight wins. Sadly the girls fell short this year but are determined to redeem themselves in the upcoming season.

“We want to make states and continue to be a team that works well together,” said Boath.

The team is losing five of their starters next year including Renee Lynch, Tori Nabors, Kailee Frank, Heather Sherrick, and Molly Vargo.

Their Senior Night was held at Law on Monday, October 19 against Daniel Hand. The team performed well and worked together to play all five games. Hand won 3-2 but it was a memorial night as the seniors played their final home game.

“I’m going to miss ‘LV’ more than anything,” Kailee Frank said.

Kailee Frank has improved throughout her four years on the team and intends on playing club volleyball in college. She is very excited to see how the girls do next season.

Head coach Ms. Loch has a positive outlook on the past season and is ready to improve and see the girls succeed.

“I am very proud of the girls this year,” Loch said. “Every game was a close game which shows how well the girls played against competition.”

Although the team usually consists of 24 varsity players, freshman are always welcomed and Loch is excited to see the new talent coming in next year.
