The Lynn Classical volleyball team fell behind 18-11 in the first set and faced an uphill battle, but the Rams never gave up and ended up pulling off a 3-0 win over St. Mary’s to win the Lynn City Volleyball Tournament Friday night at Conigliaro Gymnasium. The Rams won by set scores of 26-24, 25-15, 25-19.
“It’s obviously really exciting to win the city tournament, but the girls really showed me something out there (Friday),” said Classical coach Chris LeBlanc. “We were down in every set and we never stopped fighting. St. Mary’s played a great match, but our girls just wouldn’t quit.”
Chloe Clement led the way for Classical, earning tournament MVP honors in the process. Samantha Thoeun and Jauslin Mensah also had huge games in the victory.
