Bay State Games Wrap: West Takes Gold in Final

First, thanks to Adam DeBaggis, Bishop Fenwick coach for his summary below and for his enthusiastic coaching.


The Northeast girls scholastic volleyball team just lost in the gold medal game to the West, losing 17-15 in the final set. (23-25, 25-23, 15-17 were the set scores for the whole match).

The match was as exciting as it gets for high school volleyball, and a great matchup. Northeast trailed 22-17 in the second set and came back and won. 

To the West's credit, they stopped 2 match points in the final set at 14-13 and 15-14 with us having serve. 

Sarah McGowan and Jen Cain were two of the top hitters this weekend, and Brooke Bell led Northeast as floor captain. She also had the most assists (which I'm sure is no surprise).
Jen Crovo from Fenwick (who is actually from Melrose) played great defense for us all weekend in the back row.

This was my 3rd year coaching the Northeast team, and second silver medal; but this was probably the best all-around team out of the 3. It was amazing how well the girls jelled on the court for only having known each other for a few weeks. It was a great weekend.

Here is the whole roster.

#2 - Danielle Hunt (Burlington/Arlington Catholic)
