DALLAS, TX -- It can be wild how fast a season can go by. The Bishop Lynch volleyball team played their last regular season home game last night hosting Trinity Christian Academy. The Friars were able to play their way to a 3-0 victory over the Trojans as they celebrated senior night.
With 10 seniors on the team this year, Head Coach
Shea Jenkins was able to play the entire match with just the seniors. It was a joyous night from start to finish as we celebrated the seniors and their families in a pre-game ceremony.
All 10 seniors not only got to see action, but they played well. Every athlete recorded at least one kill and nine recorded at least one dig.
Riley Seitz and
Molly Moreland led the team in kills with seven and six, while the entire team had an outstanding night swinging with a hitting percentage of .326.
