Marauders senior girls crowned as city champions
The St. Mary Marauders senior girls volleyball team saw their two-set lead vanish in the City Finals against the Carlton Crusaders and needed a gutsy performance in the fifth and final set to clinch their victory.
The Marauders shocked hosting Crusaders in their own gym by winning the first two sets, 25-23, 25-18 from what St. Mary head coach Shaun Hunko said was mostly due to excellent passing and team defence.
But in sets three and four, Hunko admitted the team’s passing broke down and the Crusaders stormed back into the game.
“You could sense the momentum shift the other way,” said Hunko. “We just talked about how well we played the first two sets and wanting to get back to that level of play. We didn’t want to give up this game after how well we started.”
