Coming into this season, our U19 girls volleyball A-team carried a lot of pressure with them to perform well and succeed after the team won gold in 2015. Clearly, this group of athletes were up to the challenge, going undefeated throughout the season, and winning every game in dominant fashion. On 31 October, the stage was set for a rematch of last year’s final against GESS, and once again the Huskies came out on top with a 3-0 win to repeat as Division 2 champions.

Not once did the team drop a single set this season, proving to everyone that they are more than ready to take a run at Division 1. In every game, this team won with grace, style and hard work. They practiced hard and played even harder. For a few of our athletes, some of whom are seniors and others who will soon be repatriating, this was their final opportunity to play Huskies volleyball. They were committed to winning, and they’re going out on top, as champions!

As you see our athletes around campus, please take a moment to congratulate them on a tremendous season. Led by captain Ryleigh Van Neck, the following athletes are your 2016 champions: Alexis Lim, Chloe Chiam, Emma Birsel, Erin Nishimura, Haruna Asahi, Hayden Van Neck, Haylee Little, JY How, Miya Ferrisse, Nyla Ward, Solene Le Bretton.

A special thank you to assistant coach, Renee Bellavance, for consistently encouraging and motivating our athletes to take risks in the sport, and for helping to instill a love for the game within them. Also to Dean Monaghan and Sherryn Monaghan from our Athletics Department, whom without, we wouldn’t have had a season to play in.

To all of our fans, scorekeepers, and parent cheerleaders…thank you!
