Rye Volleyball Extends Hot Streak with Victory in Finale
The Rye Volleyball Team concluded their regular season on Thursday evening, October 24, 2024, defeating the visiting Harrison Huskies in four sets: 25-13, 25-14, 15-25, 25-21. The team ends the year winners of seven of their final eight games since the Walter Panas tournament on the final weekend of September, improving their overall record to 13-6 heading into playoffs.
Ashley Dehmer led the team in assists in every game this year, with Thursday being no different. Along with 29 assists, she added 8 digs, 2 blocks, and 3 kills. Valeria Medina had a strong showing with 12 kills, 13 digs, and 4 aces. Emma Lunstead dug 17 balls, and Phoebe Greto recorded 9 kills and 5 blocks.
The hot streak comes just at the right time for Rye, as they sit 7 games above .500 for the first time all year. At separate points throughout the fall, they have been 3-3 and 8-5 – not bad records by any means, but far from the year end .684 win percentage. Such success down the stretch paves the way for the Garnets to host a playoff game at Rye High School.
