The 2017 varsity volleyball team not only captured a thrilling league championship this past season, but they also snagged the highest academic recognition in the country by being chosen as recipients of the AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) Team Academic Award.

This marks the fourth straight year that the Lady Firebirds have been selected for this prestigious recognition.  The sixteen players on the roster—Kasey Beggi, Grace Cullen, Jenna Doyle, Gabby Faya, Madison Gale, Kylie Grubb, Tara Hagerman, Brianna Hartmann, Fiona Mahony, Trinity Manning, Francesca Mistron, Colleen Moulder, Heather Oleksiw, Molly Perrotta, Alyssa Pugh, Katie Sweeney—compiled an absolutely outstanding GPA of 92%!
