With admirable dedication, members Molly Hough, Noelle Taylor, Megan Wolf, Caroline Heywood, Leah Marshall, Melissa Nguyen, Maddie Franzoni, Olivia Bunton, Caroline Wolf, Maureen Sullivan, Alyssa Sinchek, Rachel Hunter-Rinderle, Camille Nguyen, Jenna Steinbicker, Sarah Hunter-Rinderle, Lindsey Combs, Abbie Etherington, Noelle Tibbetts, Audri Johnson, Sydney Sinchek, Katelyn Lupita, Ellen White, Lauren Etherington, and Lauren Lysko have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in water polo, and as a result, the Comets defeated a tough Sycamore team by a score of 11-7 to win the 2013 State Championship, finishing the season with a 33-7 record; and
