The Molokai Lady Farmers Girls Volleyball team hosted the Lanai Pine Lasses last Friday and Saturday at The Barn. Spectators were allowed in for the first time in almost 22 months and The Barn was rocking again!

Molokai got the sweep to finish the season at 7-3 and will be the third seed in next week’s Maui Interscholastic League Division II Girls Volleyball Championships. Friday was senior night for Molokai’s two seniors Lia-Chae Meyer and Jordyn McCutcheon and the Lady Farmers got the win in three sets, 25-11, 25-13 and 25-21.

On Saturday the Lady Farmers again won in three sets 25-8, 25-14 and 25-16. No statistics were reported by either team.

“We’re going to use this weekend’s game as a motivation going into the MIL tournament,” said Coach Mahea Rawlins. “The girls are beginning to peak and continue to play as a team. We had great serves which will be a key factor in our upcoming games. I’m excited for our team to compete in MIL tournament. I think we are ready for post-season. Also, senior night was great and a memorable moment. Underclassmen, parents and supporters did awesome in preparing the program for senior night.”

The MIL Championships will start Wednesday at Maui Prep in Napili, Maui.
