Both of Grace Christian Academy Lady Eagles\u2019 volleyball teams racked up two more wins last Thursday in the continuation of the Public School System Girls High School Volleyball League 2022-2023 at the MHS Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

The top seeded varsity teams this season, GCA and the Mount Carmel School Lady Knights, went head-to-head in a match with the former coming out still undefeated in just two sets, 21-9, 21-19.<\/p>\n

Prior to the varsity bout, the junior varsity Lady Eagles bested the Saipan Southern High School junior varsity in two sets as well, 21-12, 21-13.<\/p>\n

GCA varsity team head coach Cesar Liput was asked how the game went and he said, \u201cwell, the players are excited. They missed a lot of sets because of that excitement\u2014they almost gave me a heart attack,\u201d he said jokingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I called a time out and they just mellowed and teamwork is still there, so I just want to give MCS the praise because they\u2019re getting better. It was a really good game. But I think during the pressure, the kids handled it properly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The GCA varsity team is the only undefeated team in the ongoing season, with three wins.<\/p>\n

The GCA varsity team is composed of Hye Jin Elliott, Katriel Saures, Soleil Lamar, Vicky Wang, Allyssa Omampo, Cassie Regan, Eunice Pagaduan, and Azriel Fatialofa.<\/p>\n
