The Lynx are poised to be a top contender again after last season falling short of the state finals for the first time since 2019.
Updated: 16 minutes agoDimond coach Kim Lauwers talks to her team on the first day of the volleyball state championships in Anchorage on November 9, 2023.
The Lynx swept defending 4A state champion Wasilla in the finals of the Chugiak Invitational tournament to start off the season and faced their toughest test yet Tuesday night. They went on the road and beat Service in their first five-set match of the season, taking a 3-2 win. Dimond returned just six players from last year’s varsity team, including a pair who are now sophomores. Two of the core leaders are senior libero Eleasha Sapon and senior middle/outside hitter Sarah Dittman.
She believes that the environment of playing in front of another highly competitive team’s home crowd had her players “shellshocked,” but she was proud of how they were able to regroup. “With our team, it’s somebody different every night,” Lauwers said. “We’re trying to build the strength and depth of our team.”
