NORWICH- The Norwich varsity girls volleyball team is prepared to improve upon their 7-4 record from their COVID-19 shortened season from earlier this spring.

Despite the shortened season- the Tornado showed great success on the court playing in numerous matches that were decided by single-digit deficits.

“We are looking forward for a successful season in the STAC league this year. We hope to make it back to sectionals again this year” said Norwich Head Coach Shelly Alger.

Several key returning players include seniors Lauren Squires, Maddy Morris, and Miranda Cole.

The hard hitting Squires is no stranger to finishing plays off for the Purple Tornado as she consistently led the team in kills during the spring season. “Her abilities to attack the ball is fun to watch…but her understanding of the game is top notch” said Alger, “Of course her attacks would not be possible without senior setter, Maddy Morris.”
