The freshman standout outdueled High Point senior ace Ally Frei, throwing a two-hit shutout, striking out 12 and walking none to give Mount St. Dominic a 4-0 win over High Point in a match-up of top 10 teams in the state at the Mount St. Dominic Invitational.

Boys volleyball – Jason Gillies, Sr., Setter, Howell

The Rebels’ senior setter helped them to one of their biggest wins in program history, as he had 29 assists in a 25-23, 12-25, 25-17 upset of rival Christian Brothers Academy, one of the top 10 teams in the state. Gillies has already set the school record with 549 career assists, including 151 this season through eight matches.

The University of Georgia recruit, one of the top horizontal jumpers in the nation, helped her team set the Morris County record in the team long jump with a combined 50 feet, 10 inches, including a jump of 19-4 by Orji. She also registered a 41-0 jump in the triple jump to help Mount Olive set a meet record with a combined 104-5 ½ at the Morris Hills Relays at Gifford Field in Rockaway.
