Volleyball Districts

By Kate Villa

After a season filled with ups and downs, the Visitation Academy varsity volleyball team found its rhythm when it mattered most. Despite an inconsistent regular season, the Vivettes entered district play with renewed energy and determination.

In their first district matchup, Viz faced Villa Duchesne, a familiar opponent from earlier in the season. This time, the Vivettes displayed greater precision, stronger defensive intensity, and improved teamwork, sweeping Villa Duchesne in three sets.

The following matchup against Lutheran St. Charles proved to be a tougher battle. After dropping the first two sets despite fighting fiercely, Viz refused to give up. In a thrilling third set, the Vivettes fought their way to a 26–24 victory, keeping their season alive. Unfortunately, Lutheran St. Charles made the crucial plays in the fourth set, bringing Viz’s season to an end.

Although the season ended earlier than hoped, the Vivettes finished playing some of their best volleyball, demonstrating their growth and resilience throughout the year. A special thank you to seniors Kate Villa, Mia Andrzjewski, Savy Raphael, and Isla Ortyl for their dedication, leadership, and contributions to the Viz volleyball program.
