PSAL All-League Athletes
Season Highlights
• The Women’s Varsity Volleyball team is the League Champion, CCS Division V Champion, and — a first for Woodside Priory — made its first appearance in the State Volleyball Championships. (Grace note: parents of a CCS visiting team remarked that the welcome at WPS was notably warmer than they sometimes experienced at competitions, a point of pride for a Benedictine campus.)

Sports writers from San Francisco to San Jose commented on this winning team - with six on the court and one on the bench, they were the smallest team from the smallest high school in the PSAL. The size of the spirit is obvious.
Members of the championship team are Francesca Centofanti, #7, who was named League MVP, Cassie Perret, Michelle Ogren, Helene Nguyen, (top row) Coach Delna Lancaster, Kendall Holland, Kit Newman, Lisa Flagg, Assistant Coach Erica McClelland.
