The girls junior varsity volleyball team wrapped up their season with an overall record of 1-5 and a conference record of 0-3. 

Despite the fact that the number of losses outnumbered the wins, the team showed other aspects of improvement, coach Joe Smith said.

“I think this season went really well from a development standpoint,” Smith said. “We had a lot of girls improve tremendously.”

One thing that improved over the season was communication between the players, Smith said.

“Communication on the court has increased a lot, which has allowed us to cover the ball better,” Smith said. “It’s enabled us to run a much more effective offense.”

Key player and freshman Anya Agrawal said her performance this year was better than expected.

“This was my first year trying out a new position, and I think I did very well because I [got] a lot of playing time,” Agrawal said. “I [had] a lot of opportunities, and I think I have improved tremendously.”

While the overall record was not what they hoped for, the team improved as a whole in many aspects of the sport. More importantly, the team had a good time, freshman Manya Rohloff said. 

“Sometimes, the win-loss record doesn’t even reflect how we play as a team, so that has pretty much nothing to do with a successful season,” Rohloff said. “It’s much more about the team than the record.”
