Greenwich senior Victoria Sullivan has delivered 336 assists, 97 digs, 77 kills and 52 aces this season, helping her unbeaten team reach the 2026 CIAC girls volleyball state tournament as a strong contender. Her performance as a setter was a central factor in Greenwich’s dominance, especially during the FCIAC final against Ludlowe on October 29.
In Class L, Masuk’s senior outside hitter Addison Scott has been a standout with 356 kills and a .341 hitting percentage. Scott also contributed 175 digs and 58 aces, pushing Masuk to the No. 3 seed and setting the stage for a deep postseason run.
Cromwell, seeded No. 12 in Class M, will rely heavily on senior middle hitter Victoria Nawrot. She has recorded 291 kills, 44 aces and 61 blocks. Nawrot’s all-around presence at the net will be vital if Cromwell aims to upset higher-seeded opponents.
Coventry junior Hailey Mayo, a 6-foot-1 middle hitter, emerged as a strong force in Class S despite basketball being her primary sport. Mayo tallied 282 kills this season, providing the Patriots with a powerful option in attack heading into the tournament.
These four players represent some of the most influential figures across the different CIAC classes this year. Each has combined scoring, defense and leadership to push their teams into the state playoffs.
Greenwich’s Sullivan, in particular, has been instrumental in orchestrating the offense with her setting and serves, helping maintain the unbeaten record through the regular season. Masuk’s Scott stands out for her aggressive kill rate and efficiency at the net, critical in high-pressure matches.
Nawrot’s blocking and aces offer Cromwell a chance to disrupt opposing attacks despite their lower seeding. Mayo’s height and versatility on the court add a distinct dimension to Coventry’s game plan.
Their performances will be watched closely as the CIAC tournaments unfold. The state championships often hinge on players who can impact multiple areas of the game, and these athletes have already shown the ability to do that consistently this season.
As teams prepare for the knockout rounds, these players could influence how far their schools advance. Their statistics this season reflect not only skill but also the endurance needed for the demanding tournament schedule.
The 2026 CIAC girls volleyball state tournaments are set to begin soon, with these athletes leading their squads into battles that could define their high school careers.
