Friday was a big day for VARSITY TENNIS, as they played at the USTA center in Queens, New York, on the same court that some of tennis’s biggest stars, such as Federer, the Williams sisters and Nadal, have battled on. With slightly fewer fans in attendance than a Serena Williams match, Molly Shapiro (’17) aggressively plays at the service line (see photo below).
While there were fewer days of school for Daltonians this week, sports highlights were as abundant as ever.
GIRLS VARSITY VOLLEYBALL won at Trinity on Wednesday. Dalton gave the rival school no mercy in a rally late into the first set, forcing Trinity to concede one point by hitting the ball out of bounds. Watch a successful serve by libero Julia Martin (’17), followed by a dig from Anita Kirschenbaum (‘17) to Lila Watts (‘18), who sets to outside hitter Jane McLeod (‘16) for the spike. Watch Dalton win the point here, c/o Antonio Maseda (’17).

At JV BOYS SOCCER’s 4-0 drubbing on Friday against Hackley, freshmen Ethan Hellman (‘19) and Diego Urmeneta (‘19) scored two of Dalton’s goals. The other two goals were scored by Arjun Prasad (‘18).
