Woodstock Academy senior volleyball standout Sarah Swenson has picked up another award to add to the bevy of hardware she’s already acquired this season. Swenson was the November Eastern Connecticut Conference female athlete-of-the-month presented by the Byrnes Agency of Dayville, Woodstock and Norwich.
Swenson capped off a great senior season by leading the Centaur netters in two Class L State Tournament contests by recording eight aces, 16 service points, 36 kills and 22 digs. During the season she was Woodstock’s leader in kills, aces and service points, placing her in the top five in these categories in Connecticut.
She was also named ECC Large Division First Team All Star, ECC Tournament Most Outstanding Player, three-time MaxPreps Volleyball Player of the Week for Connecticut, CIAC Class L All-State, Norwich Bulletin Volleyball Player of the Year and the prestigious Gatorade Player of the Year Finalist for the State of Connecticut.
The male ECC athlete of the month for November was Zach Kosakowski East Lyme’s outstanding senior soccer goalie.
