Prestonwood Christian 3, Bishop Lynch 0 (25-17, 25-16, 25-16)
Despite the result, the Friars battled throughout the match against one of the nation's top programs, with several seniors making an impact in their final appearance in the Black and White. Maia Raleigh led the offense with 21 assists and added six digs. Kylie Love finished with 10 kills, while Charlie Wells hit .400 with eight kills. Camila Figueroa led the defense with 10 digs.
Head coach Shea Jenkins reflected on the season and the impact of the senior class.
"This team's season was a great success, mostly due to the great class of seniors we had leading the way on and off the court," Jenkins said. "I will miss all nine of the seniors, and so will this program. I am proud of all the wins on and off the court, as this group of 16 girls truly loved and played for each other. The impact this group has left behind can be seen over the last three years and in how much growth there was every year."
Bishop Lynch closes the season with a 25-11 overall record, marking the program's first 25-win season since 2022. The Friars also continued their postseason tradition, reaching the regional round for the 19th consecutive season.
The program will announce its postseason award winners following the TAPPS state championship match.
Congratulations to the nine seniors and the entire Bishop Lynch volleyball program on another memorable season. Their leadership, commitment, and contributions have helped continue to build the foundation of Friar volleyball.
