Senior Firsts report from our Volleyball Captain, Chloe Gu (Year 11)
This week, Pymble 1 encountered a very difficult opponent, St Scholastica’s College. Being second on the ladder, St Scholastica’s took the first set from us with a 25 to 19 scoreline, but we managed to fight back and win the game two sets to one. Since we were down by three players, Chloe Lam (Year 9) and Alannah Tang (Year 9) joined our team. Connecting so well with them, their performance was crucial for our team’s win.
There were more consistent serves, and we adjusted well to the sloped courts; this is a really big improvement. Our hustling was also good. We tried our best to not let the ball drop, resulting in many splendid rallies. However, there were a lot of ball drops when the other team was serving/hitting. This is a result of lack of communication, and it must be fixed before nationals.
Next week’s game is more important than all the games we have played being the semifinals. But if we keep up our high Pymble spirits, we are confident we can win.
