Girls Varsity Volleyball did not have the best season and did not make playoffs; however, the players improved throughout the season and stayed motivated. Olivia Berger \u201822 says, \u201cWe definitely could have done better, we had some issues with leadership, and when we were low we were very low, however, when we were playing up to the other team we played well, and we just needed to keep that energy through every game and for every set.\u201d Julia Kramberg \u201820 stated that the team, \u201cgot a lot of new talent this year, and overall I think we grew as a team. It was a good last year playing for Grace, I’ll miss it next year.\u201d Most importantly, the team had fun together and, hopefully, can come back even stronger next year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Perrin Hinds \u201822, a player on the team, says, \u201cour season was a blast, and our team had great chemistry. On the bus, we would blast music, and that helped us get excited about the games.\u201d Overall, the team played well besides a few tough losses, including their homecoming game against Friends Seminary, which they lost 1-3. <\/span><\/p>\n

Girls Varsity Soccer:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Girls Varsity Soccer had their best season yet. Coach Grant really pushed the team, and as a result, the team made a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, Coach Grant left halfway through the season due to personal issues, however, the team still pushed through and made it to the semi-finals. When asked, the players were enthusiastic about their season and sad that it has come to an end. Lena Arnsten \u201821 says, \u201cthis was definitely our best season yet. We lost in the semi-finals, but I’m proud of us for getting that far, but I think that was definitely progress for the soccer team and for Grace.\u201d The players had a great team spirit, and hopefully, they will continue to improve even more next year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Varsity Girls Tennis:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Girls Varsity Tennis had a great season. There were a lot of new freshmen on the team this year, and they didn’t have any seniors on the team. Kaia Cogsville \u201822, the number one player of the Grace tennis team this year, says, \u201cwe had a great season, and the dynamic was pretty much the same as last year. We had a lot of fun and won a lot of games.\u201d Jane Arons \u201821 agreed that \u201ceveryone on the team was devoted to the sport and genuinely loved playing tennis. However, I find that the most important thing about our team is that we grow together as a family as the season progresses.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
