Massena volleyball team enters playoffs with another perfect regular season record

The Massena Central varsity volleyball team completed yet another perfect regular season with wins over Salmon River and Brushton-Moira. Meanwhile, the varsity soccer teams were eliminated from playoffs.

On Oct. 25, the volleyball team took a moment to recognize their graduating seniors before downing Brushton-Moira 3-0. They honored graduating players Jenna Tarbell, Brittany Condon, Cayla Hinkley, Mckenzee Lazore and Alyssa Eubank, and managers Rachel Hurlbut and Amy Lapointe.

After taking the court, Massena won by scores of 25-8, 25-22 and 25-16.

"The five senior players had a great night," Coach Maggie Farrell wrote in an email. "Jenna Tarbell played a great defensive game."

Lazore and Condon each served up 10 points. Eubank had 12 service points and three kills. Hinkley had 15 assists. Gabby Durant had what Farrell described as "a killer night at the net," with seven kills and two blocks.

Two nights earlier, they beat Salmon River on the road 3-0 with scores of 25-9, 25-12 and 25-6. Anna Thompson had 11 service points, six digs and four kills. Teres Jacobs had seven service points. Lazore had five service points and seven kills. Condon had eight service points. Hinkley had 16 assists. Eubank had five service points and three kills.

The volleyball team's post-season begins on Nov. 3 at home at 5:30 p.m. If they win that

game, they will play for the Section 10 title immediately after at 7 p.m.

The boys and girls varsity soccer teams both lost to Malone in Class A finals.

In the girl's game on Oct. 26, Veronica Monette scored the only goal of the game for Malone, assisted by Abby Lamica, with 1:16 left on the clock. Massena goaltender Lindsay Montroy denied eight scoring opportunities. Victoria Hanna turned aside three shots for Malone.

In the boy's final the prior afternoon, Will Bilow scored both goals for Malone to lift them past Massena. Goalies Casey Hooper made two saves for Massena and Jake VanSteenburg made six for Malone.
