Junior libero Bailee Dayon was the standout performer for Greenwich. She recorded 27 digs, 13 assists, and 15 service points. Coach Marianna Linnehan noted that Dayon’s ability to read the Trumbull attack, particularly the front-row kills from Mckenzyi Bell, helped the team secure the final two sets.

Trumbull, which finished the season with a 19-2 record, lost its only regular-season game to Greenwich. Mckenzyi Bell led the Trumbull attack with 17 kills. Coach Nicole Trommelen said her team performed well in the first three sets but ran out of steam in the fourth. Trumbull led most of the third set but fell behind at 21-20 before losing the frame.
The FCIAC title is the fifth championship in Greenwich program history. The team enters the Class LL tournament as the No. 1 seed. Trumbull will enter as the No. 3 seed. Both teams receive first-round byes and begin tournament play on Nov. 12.
