Clark athletes are hard at work on the court, in the pool, on the field, and on the track. There are few times in the school year with so much activity in the Kneller Athletic Center. Currently, Volleyball, Cross Country, Soccer, Rowing and Tennis are all in season. Additionally, both sexes of Swim and Dive and basketball teams are in preseason.The Women’s Volleyball team is off to a hot start to their season so far. As of September 25th, they have registered seven wins and only four losses. In addition to this impressive feat, they are currently undefeated when playing at home in the Kneller. On Tuesday, September 24th, our Cougars swept rival Worcester Polytechnic Institute three sets to zero in an away game. The first set was a dominant 25-11, the second set finished 25-15, and the last set ended with a score of 25-20. In this intense game, 2023 NEWMAC (New England Women and Mens Athletic Conference) All-Academic team member, Victoria Pastor ‘24, notched 13 kills and four blocks. Other team leaders were senior Camille Sterling, who successfully got six kills and one block, and Sofia Scherrer del Llano who also notched six kills. Clark’s rivalry with WPI across athletics is ongoing, and in recent memory. Going back to last year, against WPI, the Cougars in all sports have won four of ten contests against the WPI Engineers. Considering the quality of the athletic facilities at each school and the total attendance figures, Clark is punching well above its weight. With such exciting action in our own backyard, there has never been a better time to go support the Cougars. Volleyball’s next game is at home Saturday September 28th at 1:00pm, where they compete against Springfield. </div></body>
