Girls Volleyball Progresses to Semi-Finals with Win Over Glastonbury

By Kate Fitzmaurice


The Darien Girls Volleyball team had a major win last night (11/15) against the number eight team in the LL division, the Tomahawks of Glastonbury High School, to win the quarter final round of the state tournament.  Glastonbury pushed Darien to 4 games. The scores were 25-27, 25-13, 25-27, 25-22. Darien won the first and second games, went point for point in the third game and, despite Glastonbury’s tough defense, was able to pull out the win in the fourth game. Darien’s determination and all around team effort led them to prevail over Glastonbury. Glastonbury proved to be no match for Darien due to impressive kills by senior Katie Steuber, consistent setting by senior Nina Preston, as well as huge team contributions by junior Kelly Kosnick, junior Riley Sousa, senior Charlotte Stevenson.  Darien’s next game is Thursday, November 17th against number four Southington at Foran High School.
