The Irish opened their 2019 season with a hard fought battle against host, Mt. Vernon, but fell just short losing to the 10th ranked team in the state 1-3 (21-25, 25-21, 12-25, 25-20). New head coach Mary Hemer has much to look forward to this season with this talented group of athletes. The Irish’s effort was led by senior middles, Anna Trieloff and Jojo Suppiger, who provided both key kills and blocks throughout Monday’s match.
The JV lost a tough battle 1-2.
