On Monday, Oct. 7, the Monroe-Woodbury Crusaders volleyball team put their undefeated season on the line when they hosted the Tigers of Kingston on Senior Night. In a ceremony before the game, the nine seniors on this year’s team were honored with flowers and gifts for their participation over the years.
The Crusaders entered the game with an 8-0 record after beating Warwick in their last game 3-0, and the Tigers showed up with a record of 4-9 after dropping their last game to Saugerties.
In the first set, the Crusaders took control early and led the whole way leading to a 25-16 victory. In the second set, the Tigers jumped out to a 10-1 lead but this year’s Crusader team has no quit in it. They stormed back and tied the game at 20 and then edged ahead to take a 25-23 second set victory.
In the third set, the Crusaders again fell behind but again turned it on when they had to and walked away with a 25-21 victory. The Crusaders’ 3-0 victory brings their record to 9-0.
