Bronx Science junior midfielder Alexandra Scheman dubbed the girls soccer playoffs a “revenge tour,” which referred to her team’s desire to beat all the teams it had lost to during the regular season, when the club was ravaged with injuries.

Volleyball playoffs: Monroe St. Mary advances to state final
By David Goricki The Detroit News Comments Battle Creek â Chants of "We've got Cassie!" frequently came from Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central's student section during the Class C state volleyball semifinals Thursday at Kellogg Arena. And, St. Mary coach Diane Tuller feels fortunate to have Cassandra Haut, too, after she put on a dominating performance during a 28-30, 25-16, 25-16, 25-10 victory over Concord. Haut, a 6-foot-2 sophomore middle hitter, had 21 kills and a .500 hitting percentage as St. Mary advanced to the final for the third straight year, where it will face Traverse City St. Francis. But, St. Mary had more than just Haut. Taylor Vuich, a 6-0 senior middle hitter, had 15...

Volleyball: No title, but Boerne Geneva gets ‘legitimacy’
It was late in the final set of the TAPPS 2A state volleyball final on Saturday at Palo Alto College, and Boerne Geneva coach Becky Rodgers signaled for a timeout.

Parkland High School girls volleyball team falls to Hempfield in PIAA Class AAA championship game
Express-Times Photo | KYLE CRAIG Things were different this year. When the Parkland High School girls volleyball team defeated Hempfield for the state title in 2011, it was a display of the Trojans' dominance over the PIAA and a continuation of an astounding winning streak. Today, frustrated by the Black Knights' blocking prowess and floor defense, Parkland saw its reign come to an end. Hempfield defeated the Trojans 25-21, 18-25, 25-16, 25-23 in the PIAA Class AAA state championship game at Central York High School. It is the Trojans' first loss, outside of pool play or invitational tournament competition, since...

"I didn't really know what to expect. We were ranked No. 9 going into the season, so I knew winning a title wouldn't be easy." The same was true for Blue Devils coach Jeff Schilling and his squad. They didn't know what to expect from an out-of-state player who was a member of her junior varsity last year. Fortunately, both parties were pleasantly...
