Hopkinton continues hot start during annual Dig Pink Game
HOPKINTON, Mass. (BVM) — Hopkinton’s hot start to the volleyball season continued against Westwood, as the Hillers cruised to another victory in 3-1 fashion.
In a night featuring a barrage of pink shirts, the Hillers jumped out to an early lead against the Wolverines in the team’s annual Dig Pink Game to benefit the Side-out Foundation. The goal of the annual Dig Pink Game is to raise funds for Side-Out’s stage IV breast cancer research.
The star of the night for the Hillers was junior middle Kate Powers, who recorded 10 kills, five blocks, two aces and six digs. Senior Cassie White would also add her name to the top of the stat sheet recording seven kills, two blocks and two digs.
