Even though the Panthers came up short of fulfilling their goals of a state championship title, it does not take away all the major success and accomplishments that this team achieved.

Senior and Back-to-Back TCAL MVP, Karis Van Noord, said she’s very proud of everything the team accomplished this season and that the team worked really well together by supporting each other on and off the court. The last game should not define the season. Fellow Senior, Tori Hart, also said that she is proud of the long run the team had where they won TCAL and went far enough in NCS to get to the State Regionals, which hadn’t been done in a long time. Tori was also happy to see how the team dynamic got stronger throughout the season.

This was a sensational season that these players will never forget as they will go down as one of the best teams in school history. However, the future is bright for this program as they will return a lot of great young players who look to have quite an encore in 2023.

In fact, the Panthers were trailing 2 sets to 1 going into the 4^th set of the match but showed resiliency in the face of adversity as they would win the 4^th and 5^th set to complete the comeback.

Even though this was only the 4^th game of the season, it was a good early test for this veteran group who have TCAL and NCS aspirations. The Panthers look to continue their fantastic start to their young season as they begin TCAL play against league rival El Cerrito this coming Tuesday evening.

Panthers Prove Too Much for Jets in 2^nd Home Game

August 31, 2022—In their second straight home match following a victory over league foe Pinole Valley last Saturday afternoon, the Panthers girls’ volleyball team were nothing short of excellent against Encinal High School of Alameda. The Panthers won in 3 straight sets (25-21, 25-12, 25-19) against the Jets.

The key to the match was the Panthers resiliency and determination in the first set where they overcame 19-15 deficit to win the set by the score of 25-21, scoring 10 out of the last 12 points. From that moment on, the Panthers were in full command of the match as they were impressive the next two sets to score the 3-0 sweep.

The Panthers were led by senior, and defending TCAL MVP, Karis Van Noord with here impressive spikes and serves; Sophomore Dallas Faafiu with impressive blocks of her own to help the Panthers to secure critical points through the match; and Freshmen sensation Kalaya Phung who has had an impressive start to her high school career with great blocks and spikes of her own.

Player Profile: Kylie Bartel

By Hailey Vines

October 13^th, 2021

This week I talked with senior, all-league volleyball player Kylie Bartel.  Kylie has been a varsity player since she came to Saint Mary’s and is one of the team leaders.  So far this year, the team is 19-6 overall and ranked 1^st in the TCAL with a 9-1 record.  This is what she had to say about the team and their season thus far.

 

Q: How did you get into your sport?

A: My father played beach volleyball in college. He was the coach for the 8th grade team at my middle school and I always went to their practices. It was kind of expected for me to play.

Q: What do you like best about your sport/team at Saint Mary’s?
A: I love that you can make friends on the team that you might’ve not made if you didn’t play, and you also get to play with the friends you already have at school.

 

Q: What has been the highlight of your Saint Mary’s athletic career thus far?
A: This year I like being a senior and having a little more control over the team's decisions. Forming into more of a leadership role this season has been a great experience for me.”

 

Q: Do you have a favorite story you could share about one of the coaches or your teammates?
A: We took a trip to Arcata during Halloween. We couldn’t go trick or treating so we went to a restaurant with all of our last minute costumes on. It was super funny and a great memory.

 

Q: Do you have a pre-match ritual?  (Special meal? Certain piece of clothing? A routine? Etc…)
A: We usually have rituals as a team. We found a stick in the locker room last year and we decorated it. It was our spirit stick, we kept it and had a winning streak of 8 games.

 

Q: What advice would you give to a new player/teammate?
A: Focus on the things that you can control. Be on time, have good effort, don't slack off, work hard and be aggressive. Go after everything.

 

Q: Any hopes or goals that you have for yourself and for your team this season?

A: I hope our team continues to play consistently at a high level.

 Volleyballers Drop Tight Contest to Marin Academy

August 26^th, 2021

Despite strong games from juniors Karis Van Noord and Sophia Martinez as well as from Senior Kylie Bartel, the Saint Mary’s Girls Volleyball team dropped their first match of the season against Marin Academy on Thursday night in Berkeley.

 

After a back-and-forth first set - eventually won by the Wildcats, 25-20 -  the second set wasn’t as close as the Panthers attack and service errors amounted to a 15- 25 defeat.   However,  showing plenty of grit and determination, the Panthers fought valiantly in a tightly contested third set before eventually succumbing to the visitors: 25 - 19.

 

Head coach Chris Martinez acknowledged the fine play of Marin Academy after the game but also noted that his team didn’t play their best.  “I think we left some of our best play at home tonight,” said Coach Martinez.  “After we got out to a pretty good lead in game one, they seemed to take the momentum which we never really got back.  Still, I’m proud of our girls effort and we look forward to getting back on the court soon.”

 

Earlier in the day the Panthers JV squad would foreshadow the varsity contest, also falling to the Wildcats - 21-25, 25-21, 11-15 – in a very close match.

Panthers Win in 4; Move to 3-0 In The Pre-Season

August 24th, 2021

 

El Cerrito, CA – The Panthers were on the road for their third straight match as they traveled to El Cerrito to take on the Gauchos.  Undefeated so far, the Panthers looked to improve to 3-0 before returning home on Wednesday for their home opener against Lick-Wilmerding.

 

Game one was a back and forth affair, with each team exchanging the lead early.  After multiple service errors by the Panthers, the Gauchos tied the game at 14.   An emphatic kill by Tori Hart and block by middle, Else Kalar gave the Panthers a two-point advantage 16-14.  From there, the Panthers and Gauchos battled evenly, with the Gauchos finishing with a 1-6 advantage and taking game one: 23-25.

 

The Panthers would start game two the same way they started game one, with a huge block at the net.  Their early 2-0 lead gave way to a 2-2 tie and a series of back and forth point exchanges before the duo of Karis Van Noord and Kylie Bartel began to insert their influence.  A kill by Van Noord made it 12-7 while great play from Bartel increased it to 17-11.  The Gauchos, much like Game One, fought hard and would add four more points before the Panthers closed them out 25-14.

 

Early in Game three it was all Gauchos, leading 4-1 and 6-1 before the vaunted Panther rally began.  Else Kalar’s hitting was buoyed by excellent serving by Ashley Taboada which got the Panthers back to 20-20.  From there, five unanswered points spelled doom for the Gauchos… with the Panthers winning 25-20 to take a 2-1 lead in the best of five series.   

 

Game four was a dominating performance by the Panthers, jumping out early 6-1 and maintaining a big lead for most of the match.  Th Gauchos would fight back and keep it close at 23-17 before the Panthers put the finishing touches and taking the game 25-17 to take the game 3-1. 

 

The Panthers return home tomorrow for their home opener against Lick-Wilmerding High School. Game times are 4:30pm for JV and 6:00pm for Varsity.  Come out and support your still undefeated Girl’s Volleyball Team!

Karis Van Noord’s 27 Kills Lead Panthers;

Volleyballers Now 2-0 After Win @ Hercules

August 19th, 2021

   

Hercules, CA –  The Panther Girl’s Volleyball team moved to 2-0 in pre-season league play after a 25-21, 25-11, 19-25, 25-12 road win against the Titans of Hercules High School.  Kylie Bartel, Tori Hart, Jae Vass and Ashley Taboada all played “very well” according to head coach Chris Martinez.  But it was junior Karis Van Noord’s 27 kills that sparked the win.

 

 “Karis is undoubtedly one of the best players in our league,” said coach Martinez.  “Her ability to attack, defend and lead has been a huge boost for us in these first two matches.”

 

Game one started with the Panthers on defense and after a serve receive error by sophomore, Jae Vass, the Panthers recovered behind three straight kills by junior, Karis Van Noord. The Titans would answer right away with two monster kills by the Titans outside hitter Junior, Anne Tuinauvai.  Back and forth they go with no team really with an advantage.  The titans scored on serving errors, while the Panthers would respond with back row hitting from junior, Karis Van Noord.  After a dig by junior, Karis Van Noord of the Titans the score would 14 -14.   The Titans would then take the lead on two hitting errors by the Panthers making the score 14-16.  The Panthers would fight back behind good serving and defense at the net, reclaiming the lead 21-20, forcing the Titans to call a timeout.  The Panthers would close out a very close game one 25-21.

 

Panthers come out with much higher energy in game two jumping out on the Titans 4-1.  Panthers would continue their chipping away behind juniors, Karis Van Noord and Tori Hart  hitting the ball well.  Defensively the Panthers would have a much high presence which is why they were able to jump out to a 17-7 lead.  After a service error by Ashley Taboada, Kylie Bartel would respond on the next side-out with a misdirection play, freezing the Titan defense.  The Titans could not recover, and the Panthers run away with a 25-11.

 

With an opportunity to close out game three, the Panthers played tense, exchanging point with the Titans all the way to a 7-7 tie.  The Titans would take the lead on a hitting errs by #1, only to reclaim the tie behind a kill by sophomore Jaw Vass.   Both teams struggle to take control of the game with constant errors on both sides.  It would be the Titans who would mustard up four consecutive points taking the lead 13-9, forcing the Panthers to a timeout.  After the timeout, the Titans continued to scrap it out and adding four more pushing their lead to 9-17.  The Panthers show a little fight finding the will and gathers four points closing the margin 13-18.  In the end, the Titans where too much for the Panthers taking game three 19-25.    

 

Panthers open game four with a different focus, jumping on the Titans 6-2 and forcing them to take an early timeout.  The Titans would find two points on hitting errors by the Panthers narrowing their deficit 6-4. With a renewed focus, the Panthers would push the lead to 11-5.  After a quick spurt by the Titans the Panthers finished the match 25-12.

 

 

The Panthers move to 2-0 on the season and return to play on Tuesday, on the road once again as they take on El Cerrito High School.  Game times are 4:30pm for the JV and 6:00pm for the Varsity team.

August 17^th, 2021

 

 

Crockett, CA – The Panthers opened their 2021 season with a convincing 25-6, 25-15, 25-15 win against John Swett.  Panthers senior Kylie Bartel opened the game with three straight points, with teammate Tori Hart following with three straight.  After that, the Panthers made quick work of the Warriors, closing the first game with a 13-3 run and a 25-6 win. 

 

The second game opened with an impressive kill by junior outside hitter Karis Van Noord – the first of her four in Game #1 - before senior Julia Frantz ran off 9 straight points, including 5 service aces to notch the second game: 25-15.

 

Game three would prove to be much more competitive, with the Warriors taking an early 8–4 lead.  However, Sophia Martinez would get the Panthers back in the game with four straight points, cutting the deficit to 9-8.  The Panthers then went on an 8-3 run to edge ahead, 16-13, before Kylie Bartel served the final 8 points to win the game 25-15 and complete the 3 game sweep. 

 

Karis Van Noord’s 15 kills led the Panthers statistically.  “We played really well as a team, especially for having so little practice time together,” said the junior outside hitter.   Sophomore Jae Vass helped fill the stat sheet with her career high 11 points in Game #2.  The team finished with a total of 24 aces overall. 

 

After almost two years away from the game, senior setter Kylie Bartel may have summed it up best.  “I think we’re all excited just to be out here after such a long break.” She added, “I am thankful to be out on the floor with my teammates, cheering, competing and representing Saint Mary’s.”

 

The Panthers have a quick turnaround as they travel to Hercules High School on Thursday.  Games times are 4:30 for JV and 6:30 for Varsity.  Come out to support the Panthers this Thursday!
