STONY BROOK SCHOOL GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL HISTORICAL SEASON |
|
THE STONY BROOK SCHOOL GIRLS' VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAM |
| The 2009 Varsity Girls' Volleyball team has just completed one of, if not, the most successful volleyball seasons in school history. With an 11-3 record, 10 out of 11 wins were shutouts, 3-0. In the first round of the playoffs they avenged their loss against Pierson during the season with a rousing 3-1 win in front of a raucous home crowd. They were defeated by Shelter Island in the county championship on November 6. | ||
| The team this year was very balanced with strong teamwork skills and without a single dominating player. They played very tough defense, followed by strong blocking, and a consistent attack from multiple positions. Their defense was anchored by Jessica Winston (Stony Brook), Emily Stone (Pennsylvania), and Alex Angove (Virginia). Natalie Istrati (Virginia) and Christine Boss (New Hampshire), both over 6', dominated in the middle with their blocking and consistent middle hitting. Shelby Green (Mt. Vernon) and Linnea Peckham (Pennsylvania) brought hitting power to the outside spot with Green occasionally doubling in the middle. Emma Moley (Bellport) and Mona Kaleh (Saudi Arabia) run the offense as the team's setters. Kayla Winston (Stony Brook), a 6 year varsity starter, added serving and outside hitting power but was plagued with injuries this season so she saw limited playing time. Excellent all around play coupled with very strong serving has enabled this team to achieve higher than any previous team from The Stony Brook School. | ||
