How Seton volleyball topped St. Ursula for 3rd straight state title
The Seton volleyball team finished off the fifth undefeated season in school history to win its ninth state championship. Here's how.
In a thrilling showdown, Seton Saints volleyball team secured their third consecutive state championship title, defeating St. Ursula Saints 25-19, 25-17, 24-26, and 25-16. This marked the first instance since 2007 when two Girls Greater Catholic League schools contested for the state title, with Mother of Mercy prevailing over Mount Notre Dame in five sets.
Remarkably, Seton's victory brings their tally to nine state championships, sharing the second-highest count in state history, trailing only Mount Notre Dame's 10 titles. The Saints have now achieved five undefeated state titles, including the 1985, 1986, 1996, and 2025 seasons. Additionally, they boast an impressive 69-match winning streak, ranking third in the nation and fifth in state history.
The Bulldogs concluded the season with a record of 19-9 and graduated only two seniors, Lola Waleskowski and Kara Cengia. St. Ursula Saints, while striving for excellence, never managed to advance past the regional championship and finished as runners-up in the 2024 D II state title.
