October was a huge month for girls volleyball. The team has been working hard all season and ended with a thrilling three-way tie match at home against Peninsula, which they won! This victory solidified their standing as the second-place finishers in the Pioneer League. They made it all the way to the CIF Playoffs on October 24—Congratulations to our Wolves! A special thank you to our Seniors Olivia Gonser, Kendra Kehl and Lina Valenzuela for all you have done for WDV girls volleyball, we will miss you!

The WDV girls soccer season is officially underway! We appreciate everyone’s patience during the planning season. The tryouts had an excellent turnout on our brand-new Wiseburn Da Vinci soccer field. We can’t wait to see what the season has in store for this talented group.
