Finishing in the runner-up spot last year, Roy-Hart returns its lineup almost intact as the Lady Rams take aim at making a strong run for top Niagara-Orleans League volleyball honors this season.
Roy-Hart will tune up for Tuesday’s N-O home opener against Wilson by visiting Lyndonville this evening at 6:30 for a non league match.
Seniors Ella Martillotta and Lila Brigham and junior Raegen, who all earned first team N-O All-League honors last fall, along with senior Emily Livergood and junior Grace Pearl, who both received Honorable Mention, head the Lady Rams veteran group.
The Lady Rams other returnees include seniors Brooklyn Schumacher and Aubree Parker; juniors Ryleigh Capen, Peyton May and Kylie McOmber and freshman Lauren Snyder.
Roy-Hart went 8-2 in N-O action last fall finishing just behind champion Akron (9-1) and just ahead of Wilson (7-3) in a close three-way title race.
Those standings make next Tuesday’s opener against Wilson more interesting as it was a season opening loss to Wilson which ended up costing Roy-Hart a share of the N-O title. The Lady Rams split their two matches with Akron which swept Wilson to claim the title outright.
