Securing a league championship, the girls volleyball celebrated senior night on Oct. 28 with a 3-1 victory over Los Altos.

Senior and co-captain Sophie Pan said ending the season with a win felt especially meaningful after missing much of the league season with an injury.

“Our team did really well, stepping up while I was gone,” Pan said. “It feels really good to end my high school career with a league championship.”

Senior and co-captain Sophie Mies said having her friends and teammates at her last home game was bittersweet.

“These are some of the last times that I’ll ever be able to play with my best friends,” Mies said. “It’s very rare that you’re able to be together, so I’m very grateful to be a part of this team.”

Coach Chris Crader said he attributes a big part of the team’s success to its tight-knit dynamic.

“The team gets along so well,” Crader said. “You can see that by just looking around. They all support each other, and they all trust each other.”

And Crader said he knows the seniors will make an impact beyond the court.

“Their years here are winding down, but their lives are just beginning,” Crader said. “They’re gonna go on and do great things in volleyball and in general.”
