Head Coach Susan Bavone commented about her team’s loss to Xavier. “We just made too many hitting errors and became tentative against Xavier. We were in a position to win set one and did not close it out which gave them momentum and confidence going into set 2. We became very passive and did not generate the kind of energy and aggressiveness we needed to get back in the match. It was a tough loss and puts us in a position where we need to win out in order to win the SCC regular season title. We will face that team again and we will need a much more aggressive and smart approach to our next meeting.”

The next game for the CHS Boys Varsity Volleyball will be a home game with Simsbury High School on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 game time is 6 p.m.
