Varsity Volleyball

The KO Varsity Volleyball team had a confident 3-0 win (25-14, 25-15, 25-18) against Pomfret to celebrate Hewett Day in front of a home crowd! The first set was filled with service runs from the Wyvern offense: Lila Klinzmann ‘27 early in the set, Chloe Delaire ‘27 in the middle of the set, and co-captain Lola Peck ‘26 at the end. The serve placement and steady pace put the Wyverns on the attack at the beginning of each point. On defense, fantastic court coverage and high passing from co-captain Alex Segal ‘25, followed by precision setting from co-captain Francesca Lamattina ‘25, made KO’s offense impossible to cover completely. In the second set, the Wyverns were ready to back up their strong performance from the first set, and expanded the variety of offensive plays at their disposal. In the middle, some crushed swings from Katie Reale ‘26 and Peck into the back of the opponent’s court helped secure a solid lead for KO, and spectacular defense from Delphine Lamattina ‘27 and Olivia Raccio ‘28 in the back row ensured that KO’s lead would hold. The Wyverns strung together multiple attacks within each of the longer points in the middle of the set, and the variety paid off. In the third set, it was Genesis Frimpong ‘27 in the middle and Delaire on the outside putting up kill after kill for the Wyverns as they found the angles to the open spaces in Pomfret’s defense. Elyssa Ofori-Boadu ‘27 put pressure on the opponent’s defense from the outside, and was ready to cover blocks and stray freeballs coming over the net. A monster service run from Delphine L and a dominant block from Reale and Peck in the middle of the set really energized the team to push through the end of the set. Danica De Dios ‘27 was ready to show off her defensive and offensive skills, passing solidly in the back row and securing a cleanly struck kill on the outside in the front row. It was a full team effort, and the Wyverns pulled through! Happy Hewett Day!
