Here are the notable performances this past week from high school girls’ volleyball players in Eastern Mass. conferences/leagues.

Karen Diaz, Lynn Classical — The sophomore outside collected a career-high 18 kills and 29 digs in a nonleague reverse sweep of Burlington. Less than a week later, she registered 21 kills in a four-set Greater Boston League win over Medford, adding 12 digs and four aces.

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.
