Seton’s victory brings the school’s total to seven state championships in volleyball, making them one of the most successful programs in Ohio. The Saints had shown strong promise all season, finishing with a record of 26 wins and 2 losses, and were ranked No. 1 in the final poll by the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association.
In the championship match, several players shone on the court. Charley Moeddel, Callie Combs, and Nattie Slusher each contributed 10 kills, showcasing their offensive prowess.
