Townies are victorious in return to Division I girls' volleyball ranks

East Providence sweeps both Classical and South Kingstown to open 2024 league slate

It was a success first few matches for the East Providence High School girls' volleyball team upon its return to the state's top tier as the Townies opened their 2024 Division I slate with a pair of victories.

The girls' spikers, winners of the D-II a year ago, were actually the first of the EPHS fall sports teams to begin their season when the Townies swept visiting Classical, 3-0, in their Division I opener Friday night, Aug. 30.

The locals were winners by the scores of 25-17, 25-14 and 25-9. Keira Mullen paced the Townies with 10 kills and 6 service aces. Ellie Vest chipped in 4 kills and 7 aces.

East Providence followed up early last week with another sweep, this time a 3-0 victory over visiting South Kingstown in a D-I outing on Carvalho Court.

The Townies took the match by the identical scores of 25-22, 25-22, 25-22. Mullen and Vets once again set the pace. The former had 8 kills, 10 assists from her setter spot, 6 digs and 2 aces. Vest had 5 kills, 10 digs and 3 aces.

East Providence is off the rest of this week, hitting the road for its next two outings: at Portsmouth, Monday, Sept. 9, 6 p.m. and at Barrington, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 6:30 p.m.
