Playoff fever swept through West Seneca last night as the SSPP Varsity White Volleyball team wrapped up their season with some of the most exciting play in the league. St. Andrew’s was in the Knights cross hairs first, with the teams battling for points, with SSPP topping out with a 25-23 win in game one. After dropping game two, an epic battle ensued in the tie breaker game to 15. Down 4-9, a wild serving run tied the game and team work, brought the Knights to victory 15-13 to advance to the semifinals against rival Nativity. With both teams coming off great wins, all the girls fought hard for one more victory. The strong opponent moved the ball well and commanded the serves to defeat the Knight’s hope for another playoff victory. Congratulations to our Lady Knights Varsity White team for a great season full of memorable plays, wild games, laughs and friendships.

Last week the SSPP JV Volleyball team faced rival St. Greg’s for a double header header at home.  The games were all very close and competitively matched, but our lady knights worked together as a team and had incredible serving runs to win both matches!  Our JV team remains undefeated with a 10-0 record!  A big shout out to all of our players who have worked so hard.  Come out and support our last game of the season at home on Wednesday, October 24 at 6 pm.  Go Knights!

Ss Peter & Paul Varsity White Volleyball team hosted St. Ben’s in their final regular season game of the year. In front of a full house, the Knights fought a grueling battle trading numerous rallies and serves to win 30-28 in a true team effort. St. Ben’s waged a strong comeback to win the second game backed by some powerful serves. But behind some reliable defense courtesy of Mariah and service runs by Kaitlyn and Genevieve, the Knights won the game and match. Carrying the momentum, Oaklie took her turn behind the line with a 6 point run while Savannah, Mariah and Genevieve combined to shut down St. Ben’s by a dozen points. Kaitlyn controlled game two with 10 consecutive service wins with defensive help by Cassidy and Quinn to take the game and match.

10/25 Varsity Navy Volleyball Game Review

The Varsity Navy Volleyball team played their final regular season game at Nativity of our Lord in Orchard Park. The Knights were ready to defend their second place seed going into the playoffs, starting with strong serving from Jaiden M and Olivia Z. SSPP played some great volleyball, winning points on 7 and 9 sided rallies with tap overs by Victoria N. Isabella A dropping a couple of perfect shots in the hole of the Warriors defense. Amelia M and Sophia Y both ran up the points behind the service line. Ryleigh M continued her continuous game serving streak while Kennedy K passed perfectly for three points. Elizabeth F was a wall at the next, holding Nativity attempted a comeback. The Knights were successful taking their final match and go into Monday’s playoffs next to the top spot. Good luck girls, congratulation on a great season!

10/24 Varsity Navy Volleyball Game Review

The Varsity Navy Volleyball team traveled to Queen of Heaven to decide second place in the Stanton Division. With confidence from their last win against them, the Knights took the lead early with service runs by Amelia M and Jaiden M. Great combos with Ryleigh M passing, Sophia Y setting and Isabella A putting it away gave SSPP the first game win. Queen of Heaven battled back in the second with strong serving and hitting. Elizabeth F and Kennedy K slowed their momentum with a few good stuffs and dumps, but not enough to fend off the win. The grudge game went point for point with good ball movement by Tori N and the consistent serving of Olivia Z. Lengthy volleys showed how well these two teams were matched, so in a true team effort off Isabella’s serve, the Knights took the win to hold sole possession of second place. Congratulations girls!

Our 5th/6th grade girls Volleyball team played St. Christopher’s and Christ the King in an exciting double header on Sat. afternoon. The crowd was rocking as our girls won both matches. We had a lot of 3 hit plays and amazing serves from Hannah Z, Kaitlyn A and Makena S. Great defense by Katie A, Macey K and Carly A. A huge cheer went up as Claire T got her first serve over the net for an ace! Our record is 11 wins and 1 loss.

Defending their home court, Ss Peter & Paul Varsity Navy Volleyball team hosted Queen of Heaven and Immaculate Conception in their last home match of the season. The Knights battle against Queen of Heaven Eagles was fierce, trading games and forcing the third set. Team wide consistent serving, highlighted by a win point service run by Isabella A and five point by Amelia M, kept it exciting. Returns by Tori N, strategic tap overs by Elizabeth F and great defense by Ryleigh M, clipped the Eagles wings, winning the set and knocking the Eagles out of second place in their league. SSPP now focused on defending against Immaculate Conception’s sea of blue, 14 strong. Quantity did not equal the quality the Knights put on the court, with Kennedy K’s good net play, Olivia Z’s point saving moves and pin point accuracy of Jaiden M’s hitting. Seven point serving streaks by Amelia and Sophia Y, and runs but Elizabeth and Jaiden made quick work of IC, match won by SSPP. Congratulations girls!

10/16 Varsity Navy Volleyball Review

Ss Peter & Paul visited St. Amelia’s for a double header clash of the Knights. Coming off the high ceilings at the tournament on Saturday in St. Mary’s High School, the Navy team took some time getting used to the small gym and low ceilings of St. Amelia’s. The first game’s point for point battle ended when Jaiden M stepped behind the service line and lasered three aces and 8 points to give SSPP the win. The fun continued with three touch combinations throughout the next two games, and Amelia M adding to the service runs. The crowd roared as Ryleigh M added as much fan fair in a single hit with her ace in game three. Back row passing by Tori N, the high sets of Sophia Y and multiple kills by Isabella A closed out St. Amelia in set one. The momentum moved to the second match, with the Navy Knight’s steam rolling over their opponents with great front row play of Elizabeth F and extra effort saves by Kennedy K.  Nailing a couple jump serves, Isabella shared in the fun behind the line with Olivia Z, Sophia, Jaiden and Elizabeth. The second match win puts SSPP in second place in their division. Congratulation girls!

Final home games will be Wednesday at 6 and 7pm. Please come out to cheer on your Knights!

The Varsity White Girls Volleyball team won their division at the St. Mary’s in Lancaster tournament on Saturday; first place in the silver division . The girls all played excellently!!!

10/12 Varsity Navy Volleyball Review

The Varsity Knights Navy team hosted St. John Vianney in an exciting point for point matchup. Solid digs by Kennedy K and stellar setting by Amelia M positioned Isabella A for multiple kills. A 9 point serving streak by Sophia Y and Ryliegh M’s second night pointing behind the line edged SSPP to win all three games of the match.

The second match of their double header against rival Nativity of our Lord pushed the Knights even harder to find their “A” game. Jaiden M and Olivia Z both came alive with 8 and 6 point service runs to pressure the Warriors into many errors. Additional setting support by Tory N to Jaiden and Isabella for momentum changing put aways, elevated the Knights to sweep Nativity in three games.

Both Navy and White teams will be playing in the St. Mary’s of Lancaster Tournament this Saturday. Good luck girls! GO KNIGHTS!

10/11 Varsity Navy Volleyball game review

Walking into a sea of 15 blue jerseys in East Aurora, SSPP’s Varsity Navy Volleyball team sized up their Immaculate Conception opponents as they warmed up.

Jaiden and Tori’s serves came alive in the second game, with Olivia Z and Kennedy K playing great defense. SSPP had many three hit combos, putting the Cougars on their heals and winning game 2.

Congratulations girls on the big win.

The Varsity Navy Volleyball team hosted their first home game as a double header against rivalry St. Greg’s and league leader St. Mary’s Lancaster. St. Greg’s showed their first game jitters having trouble returning service runs from Isabella A, Jaiden M and Sophia Y, losing to the Knights 13-25. Coming back strong in the second, the battle was on. Exchanging point for point, great net play by Elizabeth Fand quality sets by Amelia M were still not enough as the Cougars snuck out a win 26-24. SSPP came from behind twice to slay the Cougars in the third game with two great service runs by Olivia Z, winning 25-23 and taking the set.

SSPP worked hard in the final game, with super digs by Kennedy K and additional service runs by Sophia, Isabella and Jaiden to win 25-19.
