Volleyball Brings Back Home a State Championship!
It’s been fourteen long years since the Sacred Heart volleyball team hoisted a state championship trophy, but the 2020 team was victorious over three days of competition taking down #5 Notre Dame, #8 Ascension Episcopal, and finally #2 ranked Pope John Paul.
Sacred Heart played Notre Dame on Thursday, November 12th, and the game would not start until 9:30 p.m. The Cardinals swept Notre Dame in three games straight, 25-18, 25-14, 25-23. Lindsey Magaw ’21 had 15 kills, and MC Mazzanti ’23 had 11 kills. May Manning ’21 added five kills. Cami Davis ’23 had four kills, and Isabella Guarisco ’21 chipped in with two. Lindsey McGaw ’21 led the team in aces with four while Elizabeth Maniscalco ’21 had three. Bailey Axelrad ’21, May Manning ’21 and Cat Bonura ’22 led the team in digs. It was a great job by all, and a thrilling victory in spite of the late hour!
On Friday, Sacred Heart played #8 Ascension Episcopal, beating them in three games straight, 25-22, 25-23, 25-20. Lindsey Magaw ’21 had 16 kills, and MC Mazzanti ’23 had nine kills. May Manning ’21 added seven kills, and Cami Davis ’23 had three. Bailey Axelrad ’21, May Manning ’21 and Elizabeth Maniscalco ’21 led the team in aces, and Bailey Axelrad ’21 also led the team in digs. It was a hard fought match as Ascension Episcopal was scrappy and determined, but Sacred Heart had more fire power.

For the championship match on Saturday, Sacred Heart played the reigning State Championship team in Pope John Paul. Every player on the Cardinal team had a hand in the victory. The Cardinals won in four exciting games, 25-21, 18-25, 25-22, 25-21. Lindsey Magaw ’21 had 21 kills, May Manning ’21 had 18 kills, and MC Mazzanti ’23 finished with 11 kills. Cami Davis ’23 chipped in with three kills. Bailey Axelrad ’21 and Cat Bonura ’22 were amazing in the back court neutralizing the Jaguars’ best player. Our passing unit comprised of Bailey Axelrad ’21, May Manning ’21, Isabella Guarisco ’21, Lindsey Magaw ’21 and Cat Bonura ’22 gave us the first contact all season for our offense to fire on all cylinders. Marian Graffagnini ’22 and Elizabeth Maniscalco ’21 set a balanced attack and established our middles so our outsides could swing at one on one situations.
