Spikers play tough end season 8-8 Northville High School ' s Women ' s Varsity Volleyball Team end- ed their season with an even 8-8 record, an improvement over last year. However, the team had higher expectations for a better season. Unfortunately their losses were very close games in which the final points decided the game. There were many highlights during the season, including a thrilling victory over Churchill at home in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The better portion of the starting lineup was a six member senior core consisting of Lisa Cipicchio, Lynn Frellick, Co- Captains Nielli LaRoque and Chris IVIcGowan, iVIandy Olgren, and Melanie Urbans. With many Juniors gaining valuable ex- perience, the team is looking forward to the 1986-1987 season. Juniors Tricia Ducker and Robin Strunk work together tor a block.
