The Lady Warhawks volleyball team had a heck of a season. They finished 4-1 in conference play and 6-2 overall. With this kind of record, they held the quarterfinals of the GSC championship series at their home court. Facing Valdosta State University and winning 3-0, the lady Warhawks advanced to the semifinals to face the Chargers of UAH in Hoover, Ala.
Although the Warhawks played tough, it wasn’t tough enough. The Chargers took the game and won 3-1.
Some star players to recognize in that semifinal game are Mariane Cassiano, Nyah Wittlesey and Giada Pais-Marden, who led the Warhawks offensively. Isadora Nicolai, the junior setter, finished with 48 assists and 10 digs against UAH.
The Chargers took sets one and two, but the Warhawks answered by taking the third set. While the fourth set was neck and neck, the Chargers were able to close it out with a win.
Although this was the end of the Warhawks’ volleyball season, they have no reason to hang their heads.
