When you want something so bad, you will do whatever it takes to go out and get it. Ever since freshman year the seniors on the girls volleyball team have dreamed of beating rival Walsh Jesuit.
“Walsh Jesuit is a strong team with strong players. We knew we were good enough to play with them, we just had to prove it,” junior setter Jessica Walpole said.
“We have always wanted to beat Walsh, and this is the year we finally succeeded. It felt awesome,” senior outside hitter Kelsey Shultz said.
The game on Tuesday was close in every match. The Warriors won the first match, but the Knights rallied to win the second. The third match was close with a score of 25-21, with Walsh taking the win. The Knights were not going to back down though and ended up winning the fourth and fifth games.
“The first game we were down but we came back strong and won the second, fourth and fifth games. We all fought our hardest and we really played our best for each other,” Shultz said.
The team’s strength really showed in the fifth game when the Lady Knights were down 6-9 and came back to win 17-15.
“We are both good teams but it came down to who ever had more heart. We had more heart that final match and it showed” senior captain Amy Yakubowski said.
This is not the Knights first time they beat Walsh this season, it is there second. The Knights, who had not beat the Warriors for seven years have beaten them twice this season so far.
“We were not expected to win both times. The first time we played them they underestimated us, but we proved to them that we are good team” Shultz said.
The Hoban Girls volleyball team hopes to continue the winning streak this weekend when they play Lake Catholic High school in Mentor at 12:30 P.M.
