Page 211 - 1983 Wardlaw Hartridge

The MVP of the girls’ Volleyball team chosen for two years running was Shari Williams. Her consistent serves and solid spikes helped the team keep a competitive edge on the opponent throughout the matches. Although an ob­ server would take Shari's abilities for granted, those be­ hind the scenes know she earned every skill she possesses. In practices her constant good humor belied the sweat and effort she invariable poured into the sport.

Lisa Helligner was perhaps the best prepared member of this year’s volleyball team. Years of participation have developed her strength, skill, and reaction speed so that she was moved this year from the position of substitute setter to "pinch-server." The sheer power of her spikes and serves won her the epithet "Spikin' Mama" early.
Off court, Lisa's wild antics with cohort Shari Williams reminded Coach Freeman of last year’s Keamey-Arkoula- kis comedy troupe, while keeping the rest of the team continually entertained. A regular atender of practices as well as games, Lisa showed deep loyalty to the sport al­ though she was largely unnoticed in Wardlaw-Hartridge and perhaps the most under rated player in this year’s team.
SHARI WILLIAMS
Eileen Conti has played volleyball for W-H since entering the Upper School. Eileen's serve improved dramatically this year, changing from underhand to a solid midcourt over­ hand. As any member of the team can testify, Eileen al­ ways displayed great enthusiasm even when morale was at a low ebb. With the advent of this year's winning streak, "Lulu” was then responsible for enticing a bevy of specta­ tors including her boyfriend to support the team in their last home game of the season, which fortunately turned out a victory. For her contributions, Eileen was honored with the 1982-83 Coach’s Award.
