The CHS trio of Alexa Ciccone, Mia Vientos & Eva Curran won First Team All-SCC honors. Additional recognition went to the trio of Ava Ciccone, Sage Falcon & Julia Gonzales for Second Team All-SCC honors.
Head Coach Rob Schaefer commented about his varsity team’s winning the SCC Conference Championship. “This is such a great team. We have never won back to back SCC championships. We owe this all to the girls’ determination, drive, and smarts. They dominated today! In the era of having a first team and second team all SCC, I believe no one has ever had all seven girls on the first and second teams. We are such a deep team. Alexa Ciccone and Mia Vientos, senior captains, have led this team all season. The program owes them so much.”
