Paige Finegan dove and dished with delight Wednesday during Stagg’s 25-21, 20-25, 25-21 nonconference win over Richards in Oak Lawn.
“My sister played volleyball when we were in grammar school, and I wanted to do it with her,” Finegan said. “It started off as a competition — like a sibling rivalry. But then she quit, and I continued on with it.”Finegan and Plis became friends when Finegan was playing volleyball and Plis basketball.
“Paige got me into volleyball in eighth grade,” Plis said. “I did a bunch of privates with her, and she taught me the ways of volleyball. She has been my mentor for a really long time.” Stagg’s Paige Finegan serves against Richards during a nonconference match in Oak Lawn on Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023.
Finegan played all three spots across the net during her first three seasons for the Chargers. She then asked to be converted to the setter position.“Yeah, she said she could set, we tossed her in there and she was ready to take over,” Clemens said. “She also set a little bit for us last year, so we knew what she could do.
“Paige is definitely a physical leader and a vocal leader on our team. That’s something we gravitate toward. The other players kind of grab onto her energy. When she gets after it, they in turn mirror it and get after it, too.”
