Boca Raton Christian Sweeps St. Edward's to Claim First State Volleyball Title

A flexible 6-3 system with a young, balanced roster powered the breakthrough after three straight final losses.

Overview

  • The Blazers defeated St. Edward's 25-20, 27-25, 25-22 on Wednesday night at Polk State College in Winter Haven.
  • The championship followed a four-set semifinal win over Seacrest Country Day (25-20, 25-21, 24-26, 27-25) that ended the Stingrays' recent run.
  • Sophomore Caroline Wright played through an ankle issue and delivered key offensive and defensive contributions in the final.
  • Coach Len Visser credited the title to a switch to a 6-3 offense and role flexibility after roster losses, with notable help from captain Caitlin Crino and libero Brianna Nahmod.
  • Hannah Vanzwieten led with 22 kills and Wright added 20 in the semifinal, and the title is Palm Beach County's first in volleyball since 2020.
