Fieldston is one step closer to its first NYSAISAA final in seven years.
Arianna Francis had 14 kills, Natasha Trepel had 11 kills and Lauren Weston had 37 assists to lead No. 2 Fieldston to a 25-19, 25-15, 25-19 win over visiting rival Horace Mann, seeded seventh, in the NYSAISAA girls volleyball quarterfinals Thursday. The Eagles will meet No. 3 Chapin, which beat No. 6 Spence, in the semifinals Friday back in Riverdale at 5 p.m.
Catalina Jimenez had six kills, Lisa Slivken had four kills and Olivia Rubin added eight aces for Fieldston (11-0), the Ivy League champion.
If the Eagles are to win their first NYSAISAA title since 2003, they will have to do it without Sarah Graham. The libero, who injured her foot in September, has been cleared by doctors, but coach Collin Henry said she’s not yet at 100 percent. Rowin Paul, a JV callup, has done a fine job replacing her.
Brearley 3, Columbia Prep 0: Mary Claire Bartlett had 14 kills and four aces and Funmi Adejobi had 27 assists to lead Brearley (12-0) to a 25-13 , 25-19, 25-11 win in the NYSAISAA quarterfinals.
