The Eagles Spike Again

By Naomi Weidemann

This past weekend on September 22nd and 23rd, the boys' and girls' volleyball teams headed down to KL to compete in the Twin Towers tournament. 

The teams Dalat faced are a part of the IASIS conference, and they played teams from all over such as ISB, YIS, JIS, SAS, TAS, and ISKL. The girls performed very well and placed 2nd overall. The boys competed hard but fell short and placed 6th overall. Both the girls’ and boys' teams had a fantastic time cheering each other on when they were not playing in their own game. 

Michelle Morrow (12), a captain on the varsity girls' volleyball team said, “I loved the tournament’s atmosphere, and I think the energy it brought reflected in our play as we found our rhythm and worked together. Our hard work paid off too, with our team placing 2nd out of seven teams in the IASIS tournament. I’m really proud of how we performed overall.” Michelle lived up to her role of being selected captain for her senior year by encouraging and leading the team to place well in the tournament. 

Gerald Yang (11), a player on the varsity boys’ volleyball team, said, “The IASIS invitational tournament was a fun string of games that we played which gave us a lot of insight into preparing for ACSC.” After making the varsity team for his junior year playing volleyball at Dalat, Gerald is a great asset and contributes a lot to the team being a right-side hitter. 

The Twin Towers volleyball tournament was a great way for teams to make improvements and grow together as a team. Both of the teams are continuing to work hard so they will be ready to compete in the ACSC tournament happening October 17th through the 21st.
