The Whippets are on a four game winning streak. Last night our JV2, JV, and Varsity all defeated Jefferson. What a great confidence boost for our program! The Varsity was led by strong serving by Kindyl Kilar and Cora Linos. Kilar started the first set off serving 19 straight, and Linos went on a 13 serve run in the third set. Whitewater defeated Jefferson 3-0 by the scores of 25-11, 25-8, and 25-7.

We are back at practice tonight preparing for Thursday night’s match against Big Foot (2-2) when we’ll celebrate Parents’ Night. The JV and JV2 will begin play at 5:00, and parents will be recognized between set 2 and set 3. The Varsity match will start at 6:30, and parents will be recognized between set 2 and 3.
