On Monday, October 5th, the East Brunswick girls volleyball team honored its seniors during their match against the J.P. Stevens Hawks.

Before the game began, each senior was escorted by their family and received flowers. Teammates cheered, and the bleachers were filled with applause as the seniors walked down the court. 

Once the game began, the Bears pushed the Hawks in both sets. The Senior Night energy kept East Brunswick within reach as the teams battled it out. During the game, the first sets weren’t decided until the final points, building tension and anticipation for the finale of the game. Sophomore Smitha Srinivasan led the way with 11 digs and 3 aces. Sophomore Danielle Manning added 6 kills, while Senior Zoe Holeman had 15 assists. Senior Eva Muñoz anchored the back row with 10 digs, and Senior Addyson Danchak chipped in 3 kills and 2 aces. As a team, the Bears finished with 19 kills, 36 digs, and 9 aces. 

Reminiscing on her time with the team, Senior player Shipra Patel said, “I’m so grateful for everything this team has given me. I’ve loved every minute of playing here and the amazing people I’ve met along the way. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything”.

Through the Night, the Bearden cheered loudly for the Lady Bears, showing their support. The stands were filled with friends and loved ones, such as Senior Vaishnavi Mutnuri, a close friend of Patel. Mutnuri said, “It was so nice to see her go out there and do her best on her Senior Night. She’s worked so hard, and she deserved this moment.” 

Now that Senior Night has wrapped, fans eagerly look forward to what the remainder of the volleyball season will bring as the girls head onto GMCs.
