Athletics Update: Volleyball Outlasts BB&N for Dramatic Three-Set Win

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.

  • Pippa Ellner and Noor Khan shined at midfield during girls’ varsity soccer’s lopsided win over BB&N. Classmates Christian Samuel and Maraki Shiferaw chipped in with solid D.
  • Mackenzie Ekechukwu had two interceptions during varsity football’s comeback win over Charles River this week. Jun Murakami tallied three TDs in the 35-19 win.
  • The boys’ varsity soccer team toppled BB&N thanks to strong play from newcomers Graham Chisholm and Clark Rutherford. Adam Ahmed was strong in net for the Blue & Gold.  
  • BDS runners took home the first five spots during cross country’s clean sweep of CRS. Eden O’Sullivan recorded a huge PR while Aidan Su and Bella Tan crushed the home course.
  • The field hockey team opened their season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Charles River this week. Griffin Targum recorded some timely saves for the home team. Zazoue Marsan was strong on D.
