GIRLS VARSITY VOLLEYBALL IMPROVES TO 4-0 WITH 3 KEY WINS

Maayanot Game-
Girls Varsity Volleyball beat the Maayanot Rapids in 5 dramatic games on Thursday night. SAR easily beat Maayanot in the first 2 games, but the Rapids' strong spot serving caused SAR to lose games 3 and 4. The table was set for an intense game 5. Team member Liana Lapp ('18) said, "Game 5 was the scariest game of my life". Both teams desperately wanted the win, and the gym practically shook with cheers and energy. SAR, reinvigorated by Coach Gryzlo's inspiring pep talk, improved communication and defense for game 5, ultimately achieving victory in a close match up! The team is excited to play Frisch @ Home on December 5 and hopes that this exciting win is indicative of a great season ahead of them!

Frisch Game-
SAR Varsity Volleyball beat Frisch in 5 intense games. The night started off grimly: Frisch crushed SAR in the first 2 games. Yet, as game 3 began, there was an undeniable shift in momentum. SAR Varsity came alive with strong receiving, blocking, setting, hitting and serving. Particularly notable was the playing of Rebecca Spitzer, a formidable blocker and spiker who has really come into her own this season. Equally impressive was the consistency of Captain Ariel Katz who ruled the court with her confident serves. SAR is glowing with pride from their admirable teamwork and incredibly excited for the rest of the season! 

Bruriah Game-
SAR Varsity Volleyball crushed Bruriah in 3 speedy games, 21-0, 21-12, 21-6. Notably, Captain Ariel Katz served a shutout in game 1. The team is looking forward to Kushner @ SAR this Monday!
