The girls had an impressive performance with a sweeping 3-0 victory against the 1 seeded Westhill Vikings.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A nail-biting semifinal game preceded the championship win on Thursday, November 1st. The Eagles eventually came out on top in 5 (25-15, 23-25, 25-21, 21-25, 15-10), which energized them for their big game the following Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe knew Ludlowe would be a tough game, especially since the neutral location happened to be their gym,\u201d says Captain and Libero Rachel Hage (\u201819). Despite the obvious disadvantage on opposing turf, the Eagles were able to hang on for a crucial win in the 5th set. \u201cOnce we won that energy and drive to win, it helped carry us into Saturday\u2019s game, allowing us to sweep Westhill.\u201d<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trumbull\u2019s lively fan section is not to be forgotten. The student section came up with a variety of creative chants to cheer on the team, including \u201cShe\u2019s Not Human,\u201d referring to Krystina Schueler (\u201819) and her spectacular kills during the game. The more generic chants included \u201cYou\u2019re Still Losing,\u201d \u201cStart The Busses,\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s Go Trumbull.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWinning the FCIAC championship felt so surreal. It was what we\u2019d been working for all season and I\u2019m so happy we were able to reach our goal. The countless hours spent practicing and preparing finally paid off. I\u2019m so proud of the team and our achievements,\u201d says Julia Roberto (\u201819).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Trumbull Girls Volleyball team made history with Trumbull\u2019s first Varsity Girls Volleyball FCIAC title. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manan Manchanda \u201819 EE Co-Editor-in-Chief After an electrifying win in the semifinal against Ludlowe, Trumbull Girls Volleyball competed in the FCIAC championship on Saturday, November 3rd.
