When asked how the team played Thursday night, volleyball co-captain Elizabeth Gallary responded with “We played really well against Minnechaug despite the end result. We did a great job of keeping our energy up the entire game and our communication was excellent. Everyone was willing to do whatever Coach needed from us, and we are all ready to work even harder than we have so far.”

So far, the Rangers have gone 3-2, pulling out wins against Bishop Feehan, Central Catholic, and Medway.

The volleyball team loves all of the fans that come out to support the team.  So, before you go out to the Friday night lights football game next week, catch the Rangers volleyball team play at 5:15 against Shrewsbury.
