Dutch volleyball having a good season



GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland boys’ varsity volleyball team is near the end of the season and has been winning some big matches.

As of last Monday, the Dutchmen have an overall record of 11-5. Besides solid league play, Guilderland has performed well in several tournaments.

At the Central Square Men’s Tournament, the team finished third out of nine teams. Most recently, the team finished second at the Burnt Hills Tournament. The Dutchmen lost in the finals to the host team, a perennial power in the Suburban Council.

During both tournaments, Jeff Geisendorfer and John Driessen were named to the all-tournament team.

The team will graduate seven seniors at the end of the season. Those upperclassmen are Wang Sheng, Driessen, Billy Reed, Malcolm Munoz, Mike Hilson, Joey Millstein, and Geisendorfer.

The team will have several younger players returning to next year’s varsity team. The junior varsity team is also having a strong season and many of those players will also contribute to the varsity team next fall.

The regular season is winding down and sectionals are on the way.
