Breakdown and Analysis: Girls Varsity Volleyball (10/20/13)




                                          The Varsity Girls' Volleyball team has been able
                                          to bring down tough opponents this year,
                                          possibly foreshadowing a strong CCC tournament
                                          campaign.




      Wins have been coming in bunches for the girls' varsity volleyball team. Entering their 'Dig Pink' match against Farmington, the teams' record was a dazzling 13-2. In each of those 13 wins, the girls have turned in nothing but domination against their opponents. This is a justified statement considering that 9 of their 13 wins (that's 69%) have been shutouts, and not all of these wins have come against pushover teams. The Bobcats have also played the underdog this year, coming back from a 2-0 deficit on September 27 to win the match 3-2. This team does not lose much, which of course is ideal when competing in a tournament.

     In addition to skill, the Bobcats this year have had an overwhelming presence of a will to win on their side. Their 13 wins, 9 shutouts, and 1 come-from-behind wins, are proof of this, yet it even seems to be there on losing nights. The team has not been shutout yet this year, and the 'Cats were able to keep it close on Wednesday, while going down at the hands of Glastonbury 3-2. In terms of facing the tougher teams, South Windsor has matched up rather evenly against the hard teams as far as hustle and skill goes. With their overpowering skill and scrappy play style, the Bobcats are for real; they're a scary contender.
