It took some time for the girls\u2019 basketball team to find its momentum this season, but the girls became much more comfortable on the court by January. Starting guard Olivia Volpe (IV) explained that the team\u2019s goal midway through the season was \u201cto beat teams we lost to the first time we played them\u201d; such teams included Bernards, Delaware Valley, and Voorhees, all of which Big Blue later beat. The second time Pingry played these teams, they beat Bernards by three points, Delaware Valley by one point, and Voorhees by one point. Evidently, the key difference between the first and second half of the season was Pingry\u2019s ability to successfully finish tight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tVolpe expressed the team\u2019s excitement for the County and Prep Championships, saying, \u201cWe are looking forward to going as far as we can in the upcoming tournaments.\u201d She also sees how far the team has come since its start: \u201cWe are playing our best basketball right now. I\u2019m excited for our potential next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
