Description

It's time to meet the Captains for the North Haven volleyball team. Caroline Toni and Hannah Auddino both started last year and both are all SCC division B honorees. Auddino posted 223 assists, 49 digs, 10 kills and 31 Aces in 2020. Toni, who is an outside hitter, had 87 digs, 58 kills and 18 aces and received all-conference honors. In an interview last year with Zip 06, coach Brianna Klecker said of Auddino, "We can't go anywhere if Hannah doesn't do a million things right at the same time. She did a phenomenal job of working through the pressure and performing in a way that allowed us to be successful." In that same article Klecker was quoted about Toni and said this: "Caroline is one of our hungriest competitors who always wants to win," . "The growth that she had with her skills and mental side of the game was awesome. She worked so hard to improve and did phenomenally well this year." If I had to say there is no limit to this year's team's potential. They have two great leaders as well as an excellent coaching staff and when you put those together there's no telling what they can do or how far they can go. I wish coach Klecker, her staff, the captains and the entire North Haven volleyball team the best of luck in the upcoming season. Now let's meet the captains!
