The Boston Herald shared its volleyball preview last week. 

Division I highlights perennial power Barnstable and Newton North. It's not clear whether Hopkinton got recognized for moving up to Division 1. 

Division 2 highlighted Canton, Greater New Bedford, Duxbury, Notre Dame Academy, Bishop Fenwick, and Burlington. Melrose? <crickets>.

"Canton figures to be a top challenger in Div. 2 Central-East, but the Bulldogs have some work to do after graduating 12 seniors.

Carly Pattison and Notre Dame (Hingham) have their eyes on another state final appearance after the Cougars won Div. 2 South last season. Courtney Correia will lead Greater New Bedford, which will try to break through after a loss in the South final a year ago. Rachel Melampy and Duxbury should be contenders once again.


Mary O’Brien and Jennie Meagher lead defending Div. 2 North champs Bishop Fenwick in the Crusaders’ quest to get back in the championship hunt. Burlington looks to build on a 2016 season that saw the Red Devils reach their first North sectional final."
