The volleyball team lost the season opener in five games against Williamsburg on Thursday, Aug. 25. Coach Maggie Willems told the team she was never so proud of a loss. The team was strong and played well. It was the first game where Willems acted as head coach, only the second head coach in Mount Vernon Volleyball history after Shirley Ryan’s retirement last year.
