Volleyball Celebrates Seniors in End to Hard-Fought Season

Volleyball ended its season on Saturday, Oct. 31, falling to Colby in a hard-fought, five-match game. Bates held their own against the highly ranked Colby team, forcing a fifth match in their final game of the season. Underhill Arena was decorated to celebrate the seniors on Halloween Day, with friends, family, and President Gerry Jenkins coming out to cheer on the Bobcats. Before the game, the team honored its three seniors, Isabel Bettencourt ‘27, Sofia Castiglioni ‘27, and Logan Yogi ‘27, as they played their last game for Bates. “I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to share my last game with,” said Castiglioni, who was named Bobcat of the Week and NESCAC Co-Player of the Week this past September. She contributed twelve kills in her final game as a Bobcat. The Bobcats won the first set 25-23 in an electric opening set featuring nineteen ties and six lead changes.
