Congratulations to the NDCL Girls Volleyball program on claiming their seventh straight district title last night in a 3-0 dominant victory over Canfield! 

NDCL entered the DIII district tournament as the seventh seed in the northeast two sectional/district bracket. The Lions defeated Madison 3-0 in the sectional final and Cloverleaf 3-1 in the district semis to advance to the program's 17th straight district championship game.  

Last night, the Lions faced fifth-seeded Canfield at Girard High School for a trip to the regional semifinal on the line. NDCL and Canfield battled in a back-and-forth first set of play. The Lions kept their composure to take set one 28-26. In the final two sets, NDCL took control and found their groove, winning set two 25-12 and set three 25-14. 

Three starters for the Lions recorded new statistical season and career-highs in the game in Mia Moissis (16 kills, 25 digs, two blocks), Grace Daniels (50 assists, seven kills), and Frankie Brkic (17 kills, eight assists, two blocks). Audra Smith recorded a team-high with three blocks to go along with four kills. Abby Tolin led the Lions defense once again with a game-high of 17 digs and two aces. 

Next up, the Lions will play in their seventh consecutive regional semifinal versus Gilmour Academy at Mentor High School on Thursday, October 30th at 8:00 PM.  

Amazing job to the Girls Volleyball program and 18-year head coach Tom Ray on yet another district title and exceptional run to the regional tournament!
