JV Volleyball Completes Week with Strong
Finish at Dougherty Valley Tournament
Over the last week of competition, the Carondelet junior varsity volleyball team posted a 7-1 record, and improved to 13-1 to start the season. The team opened the year by winning their first 13 matches. Last week, the JV squad collected a pair of East Bay Athletic League wins, defeating California (2-1) and Livermore (2-0), improving to 5-0 in EBAL play. In the Dougherty Valley Tournament, the Cougars defeated Mission San Jose (2-0), Foothill (2-1), California (2-0), Northgate (2-1) and Dublin (2-0), before falling to Campolindo (2-0) in the tournament finals.
Athlete of The Week
WATER POLO - Varsity
Madi Ohrman '18
Madi has been a firecracker on defense for two straight tournament weekends. She has improved so much and has proven to be one of the strongest defensive players on the varsity team. Even though she is usually one of the smallest players in the water, she can stop some of the most talented offensive players.
Go, Cougars!
