The Varsity Volleyball program finished the 2023 season with a record of 22-14. The last time Shiocton Volleyball finished with more than 20 wins was 8 years ago.
Other notable highlights for the 2023 season are:
We tied with Amherst and Wittenberg for third (3rd) place in the Conference (record of 4-3)
We defeated Amherst in a conference match for the first time since 2016
We received a 4 seed in our regional behind 1 seed St. Mary Catholic (state qualifier), 2 seed Bonduel (conference champs/regional champs) and 3 seed Weyauwega who took 2nd in Conference
We defeated Iola in the first round of regionals
We ended our season with a hard fought battle with Amherst and it showed in our scores of 17-25, 25-27, 30-28, & 23-25. I was so proud of how the girls played that night. They left everything they had out on the court. I will remember this match for a long time. We had a great season and I hope everyone involved enjoyed it as much as I did.
I need to thank our seniors for their leadership and hard work this season: Liz Pelky, Alexis Garcia, Sydney Ritchie, Karissa Birch, Autumn Taylor, Lexi Riehl, & Lexi Widmann. With leadership and hard work comes accolades & awards:
Liz Pelky was one of our captains, she was a four year varsity award winner, and 2nd Team All Conference Award winner.
Alexis Garcia was one of our captains, 2nd Team All Conference Award winner and she broke the all time dig record at Shiocton with 530 digs.
