Zeeland East girls Varsity volleyball swept their rivals, the Zeeland West Dux, on their home court yesterday, October 8, 2024, in a heated rivalry match, 3 sets to 0.

In a dominating win over the Dux, Jr. Mahilia Vis commented on their win stating, “I think that we did really well. Despite something being a little off, we still got the job done and beat the Dux!” Jr. Mahalia Vis played a big role in Chix's win over the Dux with 6 digs and 4 aces. 

After a hard-fought battle against the team's biggest rival, Coach Sara Mulder stated, “An East versus West game always brings a ton of emotions and nerves in a good way. I think that we came out and remained mentally stable throughout the whole match despite not playing our best volleyball. We found ways to make things work and stayed aggressive through it all and came out with the win!”
