Posted

The Montini Catholic girls volleyball team recently won an IHSA Class 3A regional championship. The Broncos opened post-season play with a 25-7, 25-5 victory over Chicago’s Schurz High School in an Oct. 27 regional semifinal at the Trinity Regional in River Forest. Montini defeated Fenwick 25-21, 25-19 in the regional final on Oct. 29.

Sophomore Victoria Reed pounded 14 kills for the Broncos in their win over Fenwick in the regional final. Junior Micaela Haggerty added eight kills for Montini. Senior Avalyn DeKeyser provided 21 assists for the Broncos.

Montini, which raised its overall season record to 27-10 with its victory in the regional final, advanced to the St. Francis Sectional in Wheaton. The Broncos are the sectional’s No. 1 seed. They faced Wheaton Academy in a sectional semifinal earlier this week. The winner of that match will battle Timothy Christian or Geneva in the Nov. 5 sectional final. The sectional champion will advance to the Timothy Christian Super-Sectional on Nov. 9.
