Game Report: 
Varsity Volleyball
Sept. 8, 2017 vs. Burlington

       With the fall sports season underway, the Woburn Volleyball season is headed into full swing as the team played a home game last Friday against Burlington. The Red Devils were no match for a strong Tanner team, led by captains Julia Barry, Liz Werner, Rachael Richards and Brianna Lundin who all had strong games in front of bleachers full of Tanner volleyball fans. Werner led the team with an outstanding thirty three assists and remains number one in the Middlesex league in that stat category. It is the first time that the Woburn Volleyball team has beaten Burlington in the six years WMHS has had a team. The girls won the match decisively, ending with a three set to none win. Junior Katherine Furxhi and senior Laurie Doherty ended the game as the leaders of the Middlesex league in kills. The girls remain undefeated on the season and look to repeat the success that they have had early in the season on Tuesday where they play next against Melrose and as long as the team works together like they have been in recent games that success seems likely.
