In other action late last week, the Dublin Varsity Girls’ Volleyball team had a thrilling five-set match against Foothill that lasted nearly three hours before the Falcons eventually prevailed. Despite the loss, the highlight of the match was the second set in which the Gaels fought off multiple set points before coming out on top 35-33 against a highly touted Foothill squad that features a player headed to UCLA on a scholarship next year.

For the third time this season, the Gaels’ Varsity tennis match was decided by a narrow 5-4 margin as Dublin defeated San Ramon Valley 5-4. Jessica Holbea, Niyati Ravi, Soha Ahmad, and Alyssa Ma all won their Singles matches, while Jahnvi Reddy and Ekaterina Lokteva were successful at the #1 Doubles position.
