The North Star Wolves senior girls volleyball team battled hard in a match last week against Tecumseh Vista Academy, but fell a bit short.

In a highly competitive match, the Wolves lost two sets to one to the Vortex Jan. 13 in Amherstburg. North Star won the first set 25-17 but while they were close in the next two, they couldn’t quite pull off another win as Tecumseh Vista Academy won 26-24 and 25-21 to take the match and drop the Wolves’ record to 3-5.

“I think that’s the most intense game we’ve played this year,” said Wolves coach Mya Foreman. 

Foreman said there were a lot of positives for her team, stating the Wolves were aggressive and energetic. She credited the opposition, stating “that’s another good group of girls over there.”

It was a back-and-forth match, Foreman added, and she was proud of the camaraderie her team showed. They still have to clean up certain aspect of their game but she was pleased with the overall effort.

“The girls kept their energy up the whole game.” The senior girls were at Massey Tuesday evening, after this issue of the RTT went to press. Their next game is at home versus Assumption Feb. 3 at 5:20 p.m.
