Head coach Abby Abbott is thrilled with her team’s form: “Our team has worked hard this season to use a varied offensive strategy. The front row continues to keep our opponents guessing and I’ve also been impressed with our effective backrow offense. And not just by our usual outside hitters but by our libero, senior Ali Ferris, as well. Our defense continues to look sharp and we’ve had more successful blocks and diving saves than ever before. The team is dynamic and exhilarating to watch, if you’ve been able to catch a game this season, you know what I’m talking about.”
St. Luke’s plays Sacred Heart on Tuesday, October 21 at 4:30pm inside Carey Gymnasium.
