Volleyball

Hanover 3, Merrimack Valley 0

Key players: MV –  Kailee Rosario, Caydence Allberg, Avery Snarey

Highlights: Strong serving from Rosario and Allberg gave the Pride a chance to win its first set of the season, but MV fell at on the road to the Bears, 25-9, 25-23, 25-10. Snarey and Rosario had active hands at the net and several girls had valuable digs to prolong rallies. MV combined for 10 kills and aces with service. 

Coach’s quote: “We’re so close to being where we want to be, but we have to stay mentally tough. We let tonight slip away from us. We can’t allow this game to define us but rather set us up to bounce back and recover on Saturday; today was a tough blow. Our first set win was right there in our fingertips, dropping the second set was an emotional challenge for our psyche. We need to come out hot next game.” – MV’s Tom Clark

Records: Hanover 3-5; MV 0-7
