Pepper Johnson, Newton North — Showing her game-changing swing, the sophomore popped 18 kills in just three sets, dominating nonleague foe Lincoln-Sudbury.
Lucy Kulka, Wellesley — The senior right side continued a monster season with a 30-kill, seven-block performance in a five-set nonleague win over Newton South, after a big sweep of Newton North in Bay State Conference play.
Bonnie Politzer, Chelmsford — The senior reached 1,000 career points with 12 kills and 11 digs against Haverhill in a Merrimack Valley sweep. But the bigger conference sweep was over Andover, in which she had six kills and six aces.
Gwen Watson, BB&N — With 59 kills in her past four matches, the junior outside kept the Knights undefeated in the Independent School League at a sterling 9-0.
