Dalton Tiger Report: 10/2-10/6

After starting the season off with a 0-5 record, JV Volleyball has won its last three games. Perry Kitei (‘21), a player on the team, provides a detailed account of this recent success.

DESPITE EARLY STRUGGLES, JV VOLLEYBALL BOUNCES BACK

 By PERRY KITEI
 
On Thursday, September 28,  JV Volleyball pulled out a win in straight sets. Consistent serving, especially from Rebecca Edelman (‘20) propelled the team to a 25-15 win in the first set.  
 
This week’s schedule pitted the Tigers against Riverdale on both Monday and Wednesday. The team served up its second and third wins, again in straight sets. A new formation on the floor was in part responsible for the team's win. At the beginning of the season, the girls formed a 5-1 rotation on the court; however, after conceding its first five games of the season, the team experimented with a 6-2 rotation, which proved successful in Monday’s victory. Dalton won the first and second sets 25-15 and 25-18, respectively. With more consistent serving and communication, however, the team could have won by a greater margin of victory. 
 
On Wednesday, the team faced the Falcons again, this time also winning in two sets, 25-13 and 25-18. The players all worked in harmony, with many girls trying out new positions only learned the previous day. 
 
After starting the season 0-5, the team now sits at 3-5 and hopes to continue its hot streak next week as it faces tough matches against Poly Prep and Fieldston. The team lost to Fieldston earlier this season, so the girls hope to ride their current momentum into a revenge win next Wednesday.
