Amity Edges Sacred Heart Academy in Five-Set Volleyball Thriller

Amity High School’s girls volleyball team outlasted Sacred Heart Academy 3-2 in a five-set match Wednesday night at Amity High School in Woodbridge.

The victory marked a significant conference win for Amity, which improved its season record with the hard-fought result. Sacred Heart Academy, a perennial power in Connecticut girls volleyball, pushed the match to a decisive fifth set before falling short.

The match featured momentum swings throughout, with neither team able to establish sustained dominance. Amity ultimately closed out the final set to secure the victory before its home crowd.

Both programs enter the matchup with strong postseason pedigrees. Sacred Heart Academy has captured multiple CIAC state championships in recent years, while Amity has consistently competed for Southern Connecticut Conference titles.
