Varsity Girls Home Opening Volleyball Game

Written by Jackson Zych, Andy Giorgetti, and Kristian Karas

Last Friday, the Lockport Girls’ Volleyball team played their opening match against Lyons Township. The team, led by returning seniors and some promising young players, faced a tough opponent. Jenna Kolosta led the seniors with six kills and two blocks, yet the majority of the starting roster was full of young guns who looked to make a statement in their first varsity season. Two superstars who stood out were sophomore Natalie Bochantin with 10 assists, and sophomore Malley Green with 7 assists. The game alone was with the teams volleying back and forth. Lockport put up a good fight but fell short with a first-match score of 17-22 and a second-match score of 25-25. The girls look to bounce back next game against Plainfield North.
