The varsity volleyball team opened their season on Tuesday with a home match against BB&N. After splitting the first two sets, the match came down to a decisive third set. The teams were knotted at 14 each in the final frame before Belmont Day rattled off two consecutive points (teams need to win by two) to secure the victory in the first-to-15 format. With limited practice time leading up to their first match, Coach Ryan leaned heavily on the experience of team veterans Penelope Bern, Noah Yang, and Annika Cash. The trio was able to control play and provide answers for every BB&N run. Coach Ryan also wanted to shout out a trio of newcomers who competed in their first Belmont Day volleyball match including Wren Kass, Eileen Luo, and Genevieve von Rekowsky. Belmont Day will look to stay unbeaten next week when they take on Shady Hill.
