VOLLEYBALL

Mahopac volleyball picks up three wins

Tops Ketcham, Carmel, Ursuline; falls to John Jay

BY SKIP PEARLMAN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mahopac volleyball picked up three wins in four tries last week,

beating Roy C. Ketcham, Carmel and Ursuline to improve to 5-8

overall, 3-3 in league play.

Monday (Oct. 7) at Mahopac, the Indians took down Ketcham in

straight sets, 25-20, 25-13, 25-21.

Playing without Bella Marinelli, who was injured in another match,

coach Jay Melville said his team wasn’t at its best.

“We didn’t play to our capability,” Melville said. “We were very

sloppy, not the level I’m used to seeing. I want to see the consistency

we had against Ursuline. We were focused and consistent.”

e Indians dropped a 3-0 match the prior Friday, Oct. 4, at John

Jay (East Fishkill).

Colleen Kelly had 16 assists, Gabri-

elle Rocchio had 16 digs, and Caitlyn

O’Boyle added 7 kills, but the Indians

went down, 25-16, 25-20, 25-16, to

the Patriots (9-7).

“I thought we had turned a corner

in our win over Ursuline, but we came

in unfocused, and our consistency was

not there,” Melville said. “Our passing

was o from the start, and we let them

dominate us at the net.”

One day earlier at home against

Carmel (0-9), the Indians rolled to a

25-8, 25-17, 25-18 victory over the

winless Rams.

Diana Kone led Mahopac with 11

kills, Rocchio had 11 digs, and Kelly

had 15 assists.
