After an impressive victory over the Matanzas Lady Pirates on Wednesday Sept. 10, in the Seabreeze gymnasium, junior Olivia Squires used two words to describe her Lady Sandcrabs: “We’re awesome!”

Seabreeze downed the Lady Pirates in straight sets, winning 25-6, 25-23 and 25-15.

“We’re just starting to work together really well right now,” Squires said. “Everyone gives 100% whenever we are on the court.”

The Sandcrabs are getting good play from the entire team, including their freshmen middle hitter, Isabel Harris. Harris had 12 service points, seven aces, and seven kills against the Lady Pirates.

Coach Tarisa Craig-Craggy praised her freshman, saying, “Harris is killing the ball right now.” Harris is currently ranked in the Top 10 in kills In Flagler and Volusia counties.

Courtney White is another standout player for the Lady Sandcrabs. She’s ranked top three in aces. “Courtney White is a leader on and off the court,” Craig-Craggy said. “With the setups from our amazing center, Shannon Stack, she’s continuously scoring points for us.” Stack also is in the Top 10 in assists.

Although the Lady Sandcrabs have lost some matches, the team still believes that they are only getting better with time.

“Unfortunately, we’ve suffered a few losses, but from our losses our team has developed from being good individual players into being a strong team,” Squires said.

The Sandcrabs look to feed on their momentum and make a run at the district championships.
