The Wellington High School boys varsity volleyball team hosted Seminole Ridge High School in a district match-up and took the contest in three sets (25-11, 25-7, 25-15) on Wednesday, April 16.
The win catapulted the Wolverines to a 23-0 unbeaten record on the season before a capacity crowd as the team honored its seniors.
The Wolverines (23-0, 7-0) played stellar defense during the match, holding Seminole Ridge from getting into the double digits in the second set.
The Hawks clawed back to come within three points at 10-7, but Wellington’s Alex Ng served a 7-point run to put the set out of reach. Seminole Ridge was determined to not go down without a fight, battling back in the third set, but the Wolverine front was too strong. Wellington took the third set and the win.
Wellington is undefeated at 23-0 on the season and looks to achieve what the school’s girls squad accomplished earlier in the year. They are currently the fourth-ranked team in the state.
Wellington traveled to Royal Palm Beach High School on Tuesday, April 22 and Pine Crest High School on Thursday, April 24, but results were not available by press time.
