Rays Lyndsey Lowdermilk, Sophia Shea, Virginia Lowe, Jenna Ragan and Summer LaButte celebrate.
Marco Island Academy completed their highly successful season with a second-round district playoff loss to county power First Baptist Academy on Wednesday, October 19, in the FBA gym.
“We fought hard,” said head coach Alyssa Stolinas, “compared to some of the other times we’ve played FBA. It was a little bit different. We started a little weak.”
FBA started strong, and downed the Rays in three sets, 25-10, 25-19, 25-14.
Stolinas sees improvement in her squad when taking on the top teams in Collier County.
"We definitely have improved,” she said. "It’s a great mile marker for us. We played well. There are always things we could have improved on. It was a great last game.”
The Rays' 20-5 finish matches their best record-ever. The 2019 Rays also finished 20-5. Both teams were coached by Stolinas.
The game marked the last game for three Rays standouts: Camryn Rose, Sophia Shea and Skye LaButte. Rose finished her career with 1,000 kills. Shea was the team’s libero and LaButte a right-side hitter.
