"She's adult and simply has a full grown volleyball brain, and she has the range of abilities to oblige it."

Bavone has alway accepted that safeguard wins titles, and Santi has been basic in that job this season. 

Seniors Grace Downing, the setter, and Jenna Stickney, an external hitter, were likewise All-SCC determinations this fall. Stickney, a three-year starter, is second on the Rams in kills with 113 kills. 

"We've made such a decent association this season and we get along so indeed, and I feel that is significant for a group," Stickney said. "We didn't get an opportunity to go to the state competition last year and we needed to make this season as exceptional as could really be expected and give it our everything." 

Bringing down is by a wide margin and away the group chief helps (330) and in pros (61). She's likewise second in the group with 52 burrows. 

"I'm truly content with Grace," Bavone said. "She had never been a setter and we made her a setter this year. That is another situation for herself and a basic position, and she set us to an undefeated normal season. She worked effectively moving forward in that job." 

Bringing down said the group believes in one another on the court. 

"We as a whole want to the individual close to us develop and to get however much they can out of this season, and it's something I've never felt in different groups," Downing said. "At the point when we get on the court for the game, there's not an uncertainty to me that my colleagues will be directly by me regardless. It's aides us when we are low and creates us as high as we can when we are high." 

Senior Elena Lilback (78 kills) and first year recruit Eva Catalanotto have additionally been weapons for the Cheshire offense. Both especially came up enormous in the meeting title match. Catalanotto had nine kills against Amity. Lilback set up 15 kills, two experts and two squares. 

"We wouldn't have beaten Amity without Elena on that right side and getting those kills," Bavone said. "It eased the heat off of Avery and those blockers needed to move. She took care of her business. 

"We have been hanging tight for her to have a breakout game like that and she was truly energized and, ideally, that will push her into the state competition. She has been truly consistent the entire year, yet all the same nothing significant. Presently, I might want to see her be imperative."

Bavone said the group's profundity, flexibility and poise have been qualities. 

"We have a ton of profundity," Bavone said. "The children play various positions and they don't get shaken. They basically continue through to the end. We've been down in games and we've returned. They've seen a tad bit of everything this year and they aren't astounded by things." 

Bavone, who has a 562-97 vocation record, said she never expects and unbeaten season. She noticed that COVID has impacted the degree of play in the express this season. 

"A ton of groups battled with kids not ready to do club, however we simply have a great deal of children," Bavone said. "We have 36 in the group and 20 on varsity the entire year. Having that measure of children and changing children and giving various looks has made a difference." 

The Rams have been predominant. They have dropped just four sets the entire prepare and presently can't seem to be taken to a fifth game. 

"We've assembled such a decent establishment that when we come into these practices it's currently about growing new things to show new groups," Downing said. "Since we didn't triumph when it's all said and done that last year, it's so energizing to acknowledge how large the universe of Connecticut volleyball is and we get to perceive how we can manage it."
