Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 TORNADO SPORTS ROUNDUP: Malden High volleyball falls to Somerville, Chelsea in first GBL losses Wins are hard to come by overall for Golden Tornado fall season teams tober 23 (Framingham) and October 25 (Northeast). Malden Girls Soccer Team drops a pair of games Malden High Girls Soccer By Steve Freker T hey showed some sincere support for a great cause this past week, though their own fortunes went in the wrong direction. Malden High Girls Volleyball took a couple of big hits in the past week as its hopes for a Greater Boston League Championship season dimmed considerably. Malden started the week poised for a solid run at a potential GBL title, with an undefeated league record and looking for more. Unfortunately, neither the home court nor the road show bore any winning fruit for Malden, which dropped two straight matches, both to GBL opponents: 3-1 to Somerville at home on October 3 and then 3-2 to Chelsea on the road Monday, October 7. GBL For the Chelsea game, the players and coaches donned pink-colored shirts and decorated the Finn Gym in balloons and crepe paper for “Pink Out Night,” honoring Breast Cancer Research Month in October. The two losses left Head Coach Dan Jurkowski’s girls at 7-2 GBL, 8-6 overall heading into the stretch run of the regular season. At this point, Malden is now centering on securing at least the minimum number of wins it would take (10) to qualify for the MIAA postseason State Volleyball Tournament. Malden has six games left in the regular season, including Wednesday’s road trip to take on fi rst-place Lynn Classical. Malden is in the midst of a fi ve-game road trip with two home games to close out its regular season on Oc~ Greater Boston League Standings ~ FOOTBALL Team ALL Malden Revere Chelsea BOYS SOCCER Team Revere Somerville Chelsea Medford Everett Lynn English Lynn Classical Malden GIRLS SOCCER Team Medford Lynn Classical Somerville Revere Everett Malden Lynn English Chelsea FIELD HOCKEY Team Everett Malden Revere PF Lynn English 2-0 4-1 145 2-1 3-2 118 0-2 1-3 127 GBL ALL 8-0-1 8-0-1 5-1-1 8-1-1 5-3-0 6-4-0 2-3-3 2-4-3 3-2-4 3-3-4 1-3-2 1-4-2 1-5-2 1-5-3 0-7-3 0-9-3 GBL ALL 8-2-0 9-3-1 7-1-1 9-2-1 7-1-1 7-3-1 6-4-0 6-4-0 4-5-0 4-7-0 2-7-0 3-9-0 1-8-1 1-9-1 0-7-1 1-8-1 GBL ALL 2-0-0 6-3-0 1-0-1 3-5-1 0-3-1 3-6-1 JV VOLLEYBALL “PINK OUT” WIN: The Malden High School Junior Varsity Girls Volleyball Team celebrated Pink Out Night with a win over Somerville High.
