Last week’s volleyball schedule found the SCW Lady Blackhawks up against some strong opponents. On Tuesday, Oct. 20, SCW welcomed Hitchcock-Tulare to Woonsocket. The night started with a junior high game, where SCW suffered a loss in three sets with set scores of 10-25, 13-25 and 6-15. The junior high girls were followed by the junior varsity, who won their match in two sets with set scores of 25-17 and 25-16.

The varsity played the final game of the night. SCW worked hard against a tough Patriots team, but they ended with a loss in three sets with scores of 17-25, 16-25 and 15-25.

The Lady Blackhawks saw their next competition on Friday, Oct. 23 when they hosted the Bridgewater-Emery Huskies at Sanborn Central. Because the weather caused the football game to be rescheduled to Friday evening, the only volleyball games that were played were junior varsity and varsity. The JV girls won their match in two sets with scores of 25-17 and 25-14. 

The varsity game was another tough one for the SCW girls. It appeared as though they were going to come alive in the second and third sets, but they just couldn’t hold on long enough to bring out the win. They lost to the Huskies in three sets with scores of 13-25, 23-25 and 22-25.

SCW falls to 7-12 on the season. This week brings them to the end of regular season play with a rescheduled game in Howard on Monday, Oct. 26 and their last regular-season game in Plankinton against the Mt. Vernon/Plankinton Titans on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The post season tournaments start with Regions on Nov. 2 and will continue from there in Madison.
