V Volleyball

The KO Varsity Volleyball team won at home with a strong 3-0 sweep over Wilbraham and Monson (25-15, 25-21, 25-10). The first set started with KO’s strong variety of offensive plays from all angles, with particularly well placed kills from Chloe Delaire ‘27 and Lila Klinzmann ‘27 early on in the points. The Wyverns took an early lead. Then, Delphine Lamattina ‘27 stepped up to the service line and proceeded to go on a nine-point streak with powerful, controlled serves that propelled the Wyverns into a winning position. Lamattina’s excellent serving was followed up at the net with crushed swings, pushes, and devastating net decisions from an ever-vigilant Katie Reale ‘26 in the middle. After winning the first set, KO started the second set with a fantastic five-point service run from co-captain Lola Peck ‘26. As Peck backed up her serving with aggressive swings from the right side, Danica Arwen De Dios ‘27 and Olivia Raccio ‘27 were staunch defenders in the back row, under the leadership of co-captain libero Alex Segal ‘25, helping neutralize the increased offense from the opponent along with the pressure blocking from Genesis Frimpong ‘27 in the front row. Though the second set was close, KO held on and played scrappy defense to win the set. In the third set, Peck started with a six-point service run to get the team going. Co-captain Francesca Lamattina ‘25 combined her precision setting with occasional tips at the net to mix things up and secure some key points for KO. Near the end of the third set, Elyssa Ofori-Boadu ‘27 got her first varsity kill on the outside by absolutely smashing the ball deep into the back corner. It was an amazing team effort where all of the Wyverns pitched in to take the win. Let’s go KO!
