Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 1 , 2019 Revere girls capture GBL title, prepare for playoffs By Greg Phipps A fter getting off to a 10-1 start this fall, the Revere volleyball team saw that momentum slow up a bit by going 3-6 over their final nine matches. But that didn’t deter the team from capturing this year’s Greater Boston League (GBL) championship and making an appearance in the state playoffs. Oddly, the Patriots (13-7 overall) were not included in this year’s North bracket, as they will compete in the Central/East Div. I tourney. Revere was awarded the No. 6 seed and will travel to face third-seeded King Phillip of Wrentham on Monday in a quarterfinal-round tilt. The regular season came to a close against a high-powered and highly ranked Winchester team. The Patriots lost the first two sets by a wide margin but nearly pulled off a win in the third game, losing by just two points. “It was a great [match] to prepare for the state tournament,” said head coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo. “Unfortunately, we were not able to steal any sets, although the last one was only a two-point loss.” Senior captain Olivia Winsor led Revere with nine kills. “She has taken the leadership role to heart and has improved as a vocal leader, giving helpful feedback and encouraging her teammates,” said O’Hara Mimmo. In their Senior Night match last week, the Patriots honored senior players Valerie Moy, Brenda Bettero, Brianna Popp and Winsor. The contest went five sets before Revere pulled out a 15-13 win in the fifth game. Lynzie Anderson nailed seven kills and Winsor and Isabella Martinez combined for 29.
