On
Friday, September 21 Darien High School Girls Volleyball team swarms the court
in their black and blue uniforms. Jenna Ganser '15 dives for the ball during
their warm ups in order to keep the play alive.
"Every
Teardrop Is A Waterfall" by Coldplay fills the courts as the Ludlow team
practices their serves. Darien watches in anticipation as they size up their
competition.
Darien
huddles around the assistant coach as they get pumped up for their first game.
"Together!" they yell and then the game begins.
Freshman Nichole
Schmitt starts the game off with a promising serve that holds true
throughout the game. Schmitt also shows off her skills in spiking to ball to
make the score 8-6 Darien.
Sophomore Claire
Naughton was also on a serving streak with more than 4 perfect serves in a
row. Darien won the first game 25 to 19, giving Ludlowe a run for their money.
The girls
were able to start the second game off positively with a 6-0 lead. Darien communicated well on the court and the girls were able to keep in tune with their fellow
players. After each point-whether they won or lost it- the girls would huddle
into a quick embrace where they would exchange encouraging words to keep their
fellow teammates motivated.
Darien
beat Fairfield Ludlow 25 to 10 in the second set: a 2-0 win and crushing defeat.
Come and
watch the JV team play their next game against St. Joseph on Monday the 24th at 5:30 in the
main gym.
