#2 CIF Archer Varsity Volleyball to Square Off Against #1 Team

The Archer School for Girls varsity volleyball team (8-1) is ranked #2 in CIF Division 5AA. The team faces #1 Sierra Canyon on Monday at 3:30 p.m.

The Archer School for Girls (Brentwood) varsity volleyball team has climbed to the #2 position in the official CIF Southern Section 5AA poll.  Archer at #2 falls one spot behind league rival Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth), a CIF section finalist from last season which returned all of its players to this year's squad.  Archer will square off against Sierra Canyon on Monday at the Shepherd of the Hills Sports Facility in Porter Ranch. First serve is at 3:30 p.m.  The teams will meet again Oct. 27 at Santa Monica College, the home of Archer volleyball.  The CIF playoffs begin on Nov. 7.

Archer has rolled to a 8-1 record so far this year, with victories over non-league ranked opponents Providence (Burbank) and Lighthouse (Santa Monica).  The team suffered their only loss so far this year to Brentwood School, the top rated team in the CIF-SS 3A division.  Archer is 3-0 in Delphic League play, including a four set victory over #5 ranked Calvary Chapel (Downey).  The team is led by seniors Leslie Baker and Coco Maurice, while junior starters Jessica Culotti, Elle Keoghan, Ciena Lennon and Lindsay Levesque have provided solid play.

The entire Archer volleyball program has enjoyed success so far this season.  The upper school Junior Varsity team has compiled a 7-1 record to date, including a second place finish at the Burbank High School tournament, while the two Archer middle school teams are a combined 4-1.  The 19-3 overall record for the program combined with the fact Archer's varsity team has only two senior players speaks well for the future.
