Cape Cod Times High School Girls Volleyball All-Scholastic Team
Just like every year, Cape Cod volleyball was represented well again this season. Barnstable (Div. 1) and Bourne (Div. 5) both reached the MIAA State Final game to end their seasons. St. John Paul II made the Elite Eight as the 24th seed as they upset No. 9 Innovation Academy (Round of 32) and No. 8 Easthampton (Round of 16). Dennis-Yarmouth, Nantucket, and Cape Tech made the Sweet Sixteen, while Falmouth, Sandwich, Sturgis West and Mashpee also made the postseason. Here are the players that helped their respective teams be successful this season. Presenting the girls volleyball All-Scholastic 2023 team (listed are Barnstable players).
FIRST TEAM
MOLLY FREDO, BARNSTABLE
The senior outside hitter led the Red Hawks in kills with 296 kills (9th in Division 1). Fredo had double digit kills in 19 of her 25 matches.
She was named a Cape and Islands League All-Star, and the Massachusetts Volleyball Coaches Association (MAVCA) Player of the Week. She finished her high school career with 556 kills.
“She is an MAVCA All-State player for a reason,” Barnstable head coach Tom Turco said. “She has an amazing court presence and is productive.”
Her favorite moments from her last high school season were winning the semi-finals in a sweep versus Franklin, playing in the state finals (against Newton North), and beating Newton North (3-2) in the regular season.

WORCESTER — If there was ever such a thing as a primetime high school volleyball match, this was it.
In the final game of the 2023 MIAA volleyball season, the No. 2 Barnstable girls volleyball team (21-4), took on the No. 1 seed Newton North (25-1).
The game was set up for greatness from the moment the two reached the final.
There's history between these two programs. The Tigers' only loss of the season was in a five-set match to Barnstable back on Oct. 6th. The two also met in last season's state semi-final, which Newton North won 3-1 en route to the 2022 state title.
Saturday's final was a heavyweight clash, and it certainly lived up to the billing.
The match went five sets, with Newton North coming out on top 3-2 (25-22, 21-25, 25-20, 23-25,16-14). The Tigers were able to land the final blow in what had been a volleyball marathon between the two teams.
Twice the Red Hawks found themselves needing to respond after losing sets, and twice they answered the call. After the match, Barnstable senior Molly Fredo said she couldn't have been prouder of her team's effort.
"This team has such incredible heart," Fredo said. "We just play our hearts out, (and) we don't give up. It's not over until it's over."
That heart is what got them to that decisive fifth set — and within a couple of points of winning it. Newton North held leads in each of the five sets, and in each one, the Red Hawks battled back.
The Red Hawks found their backs against the wall time and time again in this match and refused to give in. After losing the first set, they overcame a 13-10 deficit to win set number two. After the Tigers took set three, the Red Hawks had one set to extend their season.
Barnstable overcame deficits of 10-5, and 17-13, to win the set 25-23.
"We were down every set, and just knowing what they have, knowing what's open on the court, we just played our hearts out and did what we could," Fredo said.
Even in the decisive fifth set, Barnstable refused to quit.
The Tigers were ahead 8-3 when the teams switched sides in the fifth set. Instead of rolling over, the Red Hawks dug deep and responded once again.
They went on a 10-5 run that brought the game level at 13. Head coach Tom Turco said after the match that that's the epitome of the Red Hawks mentality.
"That's who they are. That's the character of the kids," Turco said. "They just didn't quit. They put themselves in a position of tying it up, and unfortunately, we didn't follow through."
The match featured everything a state championship should have: two evenly matched teams, and a ruckus atmosphere to match. The Red Hawks fan base made the trip and made their presence felt throughout the match.
The Red Hawks have felt that support all year long. The Barnstable community has backed them all season, and after the match, Fredo expressed her appreciation.
"The Barnstable volleyball community is just an incredible thing," she said. "They give us the most support. Our fans travel two hours, that just represents how much of a fan base we have. That's just crucial for us to have that support. It means a lot."
The match closes the book on the 2023 Red Hawks volleyball team. The season featured an undefeated league season, a nine-match winning streak and the run to the title game.
Barnstable will graduate a group of highly impactful seniors: setter Sadie Wellbeloved, libero Logan Hurwitz, defensive specialist Ashley Walantis, outside hitter Fredo, middle hitter Charlotte Sullivan, and defensive specialist Scout Johnson.

Barnstable Girls Volleyball Advance to State Championship for 21st Time
Cape Cod Times, November 16, 2023
By Courtney Jacobs
EASTON — When you walk into the gymnasium at Barnstable High School, you see banners hanging up from all the championships won by different sports teams. Eighteen of those banners belong to the girls volleyball team, led by Massachusetts Volleyball Coaches Association Hall of Fame head coach Tom Turco.
All the players on this year's team had one thing in common: none had ever competed in a state championship match, but that's all going to change this weekend.
On Wednesday, the No. 3 Red Hawks defeated No. 10 Franklin 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-22) in the MIAA Division 1 Final Four to advance to their first state title match since 2018, where they will face off against No. 1 Newton North on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Worcester State University.
This is a Franklin team that knocked Barnstable out of the playoffs in 2021 in the Round of 8.
“It's really important. This is where they wanted to be since day one,” Turco said.
Seniors lead the way
Who better to step up for the Red Hawks than the six senior captains playing in their final season? Each captain played a different role in the playoff victory.
The player of the match may have been middle hitter Charlotte Sullivan. In the second set, she took over with her energy, blocks, kills and anything else the Red Hawks needed. She finished with 12 kills, three aces, and two digs, and had the winning kill in the third set.
“The team got me going. Every single one (teammate) would just come up to me and get me going, and I think that just flipped a switch in my brain to just get my energy going,” Sullivan said.
Libero Logan Hurwitz finished with 11 digs, three aces and 27 receptions, and came up with key plays whenever Barnstable needed a big play.
“I thought Logan passed the heck out of the ball on serve receive,” Turco said. “She really, really played well.”
Setter Sadie Wellbeloved has been setting up her teammates all season and continued to do that with 33 assists, and added five digs.
“I think our defense really came through. We just needed to move our feet and be in the right position every time. That team was very good and could put the ball wherever they wanted to. For us, getting our feet there and getting the ball up really helped,” Wellbeloved said.
Outside and middle hitter Molly Fredo contributed 12 kills, five digs, and two aces, and although not a senior, outside hitter Molly Gleason (junior) chipped in 12 kills, eight digs, and two aces.
This all-around success came from communication on the court.
“It was really loud in here so it was kind of hard to hear each other, but I think that we all work together so well that we know what each other is thinking,” Hurwitz said. “When we’re down, we don’t get down on each other. We just spread positivity and I think that really works for us.”
Newton North vs Barnstable
These two teams know each other very well and there’s a reason for that. When I mentioned earlier that this was Barnstable’s first state championship match since 2018, that was ironically against Newton North, who won 3-1.
The next time the two teams would meet on the hardwood was last year’s state semifinals, where Newton North won 3-1 and stopped Barnstable from a state championship appearance. Newton North went on to win their second championship in four seasons (2020 no playoffs because of COVID).
Fast forward to this season and the two met during the regular season where Barnstable won 3-2 (25-21, 20-25, 25-18, 17-25, 16-14).
“When we played them at our place, they were relentless, we were relentless. It's the state finals, and I’m looking forward to getting back there,” Turco said.
The Red Hawks (21-3) have swept every single opponent in the playoffs this season, while Newton North (24-1) only has one loss this entire season (to Barnstable), so they will be looking for revenge.
With a state championship on the line, these two teams will leave it all on the court like they did on Oct. 6.
“I think it's going to take a lot of practice and a lot of mental and physical strength, but we just have to fight it out. Whatever the outcome is, we got there (state finals),” Sullivan said.

“All our hitters are so reliable, so I can keep the ball moving pin to pin. Everyone did well, it was everyone today.”
Barnstable (20-3) faced two set points for No. 6 Andover in the third set, but defense by Logan Hurwitz (11 digs, 3 aces) and Molly Gleason (6 digs) helped Barnstable earn the win, with Sullivan and Fredo combining for the winning block. The Red Hawks smacked 11 aces in the victory.
“Our offense is spread out, both outside hitters are productive,” said coach Tom Turco. “Logan in serve-receive played really well tonight. Our service game was pretty much on.”

Fredo, Wellbeloved, and Hurwitz lead Barnstable girls volleyball to Sweet Sixteen win
Cape Cod Times, November 9, 2023
Written by
André Simms Cape Cod Times
Generally speaking, in volleyball a team can be described one of two ways when on offense. They can either be "in system" or "out of system." Being in system refers to a team getting off a clean first pass, before the setter can seamlessly set up hitter for the kill. There's a rhythm to it. Timing is key, and the more connected a team is, the better the offense can flow. Out of system refers to when that doesn't happen. Say, the initial pass gets misplayed, or the setter gets pulled out of position and someone else has to play the second pass.
Good teams generate offense in system. Great teams can even do so out of system.
The No. 3 Barnstable girls volleyball team showed it can do both in a 3-0 win over No. 14 Acton-Boxborough in the MIAA Division 1 Sweet Sixteen on Wednesday. The Red Hawks got the sweep (25-22, 25-10, 25-11), and in each set showcased an offense that was capable of scoring with dangerous effectiveness.
In System
Whether in serve receive, or when playing defense, the Red Hawks were able to stay in system throughout the match. At the heart of that effort was senior captain and libero Logan Hurwitz. She finished the match with a team high 12 digs, and often was the place the Red Hawks offense initiated.
From there, her pass found the waiting hands of senior captain and setter Sadie Wellbeloved. Wellbeloved, who finished with 28 assists, has been the Red Hawks anchor offensively for years, and earlier this season eclipsed 1,000 career assists.
She acts as the hub, deciding which of the Red Hawks capable hitters will get the chance. She's been one of the best setters in the state for years, and head coach Tom Turco said her mindset sets her apart.
"She has a good, positive way about her," Turco said. "I have not seen her get on a player for a bad pass, she just deals with it, and she deals with it pretty well."
With the importance that the setter position has, it would be easy for Wellbeloved to let her success go to her head. But that's not her style, and she was quick to point out she's just one piece of a collective unit.
"It's my whole team honestly," Wellbeloved said. "I can't play well if I don't get a pass. I can't play well if my hitters aren't on, and this team is very connected. I think everyone in this team contributes to every single point."
She is certainly surrounded by plenty of options when she sets. This season, another senior captain, Molly Fredo, has been her number one target, and Wednesday's win was no exception. Fredo finished with 18 kills, and has been the team's leading killer all year.
It's not just the amount of kills she gets. Fredo plays with an energy and power that translates to her swings, and throughout the match, her emphatic kills had the Barnstable gym fired up. "That's just like the best feeling in the world for me," Fredo said about the gym loudly celebrating.
"That's just what I live for. That's why I play volleyball."
But that's all in system. Out of system was where the Red Hawks set themselves apart in this match. Even when things broke down, the Red Hawks consistently were able to score.
Out of System
It helps having a foundation of players like Hurwitz and Wellbeloved. Both players' ability to make the best out of bad situations enables the rest of the offense to continue to operate at a high level.
But it's not just the two of them. The whole team is capable of performing when things start to get scattered, and Hurwitz said it's been a focus in practice.
"The past week we've basically just been doing drills that are out of system, (and) I think that that definitely paid off," Hurwitz said.
The win means the Red Hawks (19-3) advance to the state quarterfinals, where they'll take on No. 6 Andover. They're now three wins away from a state title, and while there's still work to be done, this team is trying to accomplish a feat not seen in over five years.
It's a reflection of the standard of success for Barnstable volleyball under Turco. After stacking state titles faster than Brady and Belichick were with the Patriots, the Red Hawks have established a culture of winning.
None of this current version of the Red Hawks have hung a banner themselves, and Fredo says seeing the banners from the past has helped drive her desire to add one.
"I walk into this gym every day, every practice, (and) I look at the walls and look at the banners," Fredo said. "It's just such a big accomplishment for Barnstable volleyball, and being able to represent that is such a big deal."

This trend-setting trio is why Newton North, Barnstable and Needham are atop the girls’ volleyball rankings as title contenders
By AJ Traub Globe Correspondent,Updated October 19, 2023
Setters have vital roles on a volleyball team. Involved in almost every play, they represent the heart of the court, the connection between defense and offense, running the point.
For Newton North, Barnstable, and Needham, the top three teams in this week’s Globe Top 20 girls’ volleyball poll, their setters have had different paths leading to where they are now, shaping the identity of their teams.
Sasha Selivan, a freshman at No. 1 Newton North (16-1), has years of experience playing both indoor and beach volleyball. She sees her future in the indoor game, but playing beach, including training with the national beach volleyball team, has given her opportunities to broaden her skills.
“[Beach] definitely helps me be faster on the court, to be able to adjust to certain sets so I could have enough of a vertical to swing over the net and have it be an effective hit,” she said. “It helps my stamina, I don’t get tired running down balls or jumping every point.”
The 5-foot-9-inch freshman is a strong hitter, but her vision and ability to jump set make her a force. Selivan can catch a defense off guard, jump-setting a short ball to a nearby hitter or sending the ball over herself.
The Tigers graduated Globe All-Scholastic hitter Abigail Wright from last year’s Division 1 championship team. Selivan’s elite skills and versatility are a major reason Newton North is still a top contender. “Sasha is special. She’s a really special player,” said Newton North coach Nile Fox. “She’s been training, playing at the highest level. We’re not the biggest team or the tallest team, so we try to go fast. She’s really good with it.”
‘Not only is she a really great setter, but she’s a great leader on the court as well.’ Barnstable girls' volleyball coach Tom Turco, on senior setter Sadie Wellbeloved.
She started at the junior varsity level in eighth grade, working with coaches and predecessor Laura Cogswell to be ready to start as the varsity setter last fall.
Her longevity in the program and constant communication with her teammates have fostered a fast-paced passing game. The 5-foot-8 senior spreads the ball around and makes passes across the net, even out of system, utilizing the team’s hitting depth.
“The adrenaline really kicks in and helps me with that, those long sets, everyone’s tired,” Wellbeloved said. “Making a great play really helps me keep going and helps the whole team. Keeping up, staying fast and ready.”
Longtime Barnstable coach Tom Turco trusts Wellbeloved implicitly to direct the offense, sometimes taking a backseat at practice to let her run the unit.
“I just like the demeanor she has on the court,” said Turco, who recently earned his 750th career win. “Never shows any frustration, and not only is she a really great setter but she’s a great leader on the court as well. She’s just a worker.”
The Red Hawks have been dominant in October. Barnstable’s win over Newton North was part of a nine-game win streak, which was a response to a sweep by Needham, a statement win for the Rockets (12-3), who unlike the others, do not start a natural setter.
In searching to fill that crucial role in 2021, Needham coach Courtney Todesco noted that incoming freshman Lizzie Tam had great passing skills.
“Lizzie naturally had good hands,” Todesco said. “This is a kid who moves well, reads well, understands the game . . . where the matchups are with the blocker, the flow of the game. Her knowledge of the game coupled with natural talent.”
The 5-foot-6 sophomore, also the aces leader on a strong serving team, draws from her back row experience as a passer.
“As a [defensive specialist/libero], you have to have good control and placement,” she said. “I think that helped me place the ball as a setter.”
In this case, a setter’s best friend is also her sister. Sam Tam, a three-time Globe All-Scholasic hitter, is an offensive weapon, and the chemistry between the two helps them find each other on the court.
“It’s a lot of fun having that sister bond on and off the court,” said the 5-foot-11 senior. “It’s been fun having that translate onto the court as well and I think that’s made us closer because we have a lot more to talk about now.”
In close competition for the Division 1 title, it could come down to the setters to determine who comes out on top. “They have to balance the attack to get points, but they also have to sense a hot hitter and they have to be able to read defense and block,” said Turco.
“They have to understand what type of defenses teams are playing and if there’s particular attacks that can get the job done.
“Just the fact that they’re involved in every single play makes all setters’ role just incredible.”
Their 10-6 record isn’t eye-catching, but a young Brookline team has been surging and the Warriors know on their best day, they can beat just about anyone. A month ago, they delivered Needham its first loss (four sets), and in the past week they came away with five-set wins over No. 14 Weston and No. 10 Natick.
“I’ve known that these players can amount to this,” said Brookline coach Caitlin Sobolewski. “[It’s] getting them to the level where they can believe it.”
Eight underclassmen receive playing time for the No. 13 Warriors, including sophomore Emilie Ferdinand and freshman Noga Naveh, who rank as the top two on the team in kills, and sophomore libero Bella Bacon, who leads in digs and receptions.
“They’re really gaining confidence and growing into their roles and expectations I set for them at the beginning of the season,” Sobolewski said.
Prior to the season, the question was if Franklin or Attleboro would be the best in the Hockomock. Then Canton beat every team in the league.
The No. 4 Bulldogs (16-0) don’t have stars from the top club teams, but their inseparable bond has paid off. Led by senior hitter Jess Wright and sophomore setter Erin Bigham, they’ve only dropped four sets all season. “We’re really trying to enjoy it because it doesn’t happen to us,” Canton coach Pat Cawley said.
“We’re a blue-collar team. The kids are working hard. It’s a great team personality-wise.”

“When our offense was clicking, that definitely helped us,” Barnstable coach Tom Turco said. “Sadie was running around, she gets every ball. We made really good defensive stops when we had to.”
Junior Molly Gleason stepped up with 16 kills and 15 digs, adding the winning kill as Barnstable (10-2) rallied from down 12-10 in the final frame.

CAPE COD TIMES

BARNSTABLE VS DENNIS-YARMOUTH
Barnstable girls volleyball seniors and HOF coach Turco have Red Hawks flying high
YARMOUTH — Over the past decade, the Barnstable girls volleyball team has been the best team, not only on Cape Cod but possibly in the state.
Led by Massachusetts Volleyball Coaches Association Hall of Fame head coach Tom Turco (2004 inductee), the Red Hawks have been to the Div. 1 state semifinals every season since 2013 except once (lost in Round of 8 in 2021), and have three championships over that span.
On Monday, Barnstable beat a Dennis-Yarmouth team that has been to the Div. 3 state finals the last two seasons.
After the 3-1 (25-19, 25-13, 16-25, 25-23) victory over D-Y, the Red Hawks are now 4-1. The only loss of the season was to the Div. 2 state champs Westboro, who have one loss (2021 Div. 3 state championship match) over the last three seasons.
The Red Hawks are looking to get back in the state championship match this season for the first time since 2018.
“We have six seniors (all captains) so we have a lot of experience and return a lot of players,” Turco said.
One of those experienced players is senior setter Sadie Wellbeloved, who finished the match against D-Y with 32 assists (157 on the season). She said teamwork has been the key to their success so far.
“It starts with communication, and celebrating every point. Being there for your teammates when they make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, it's not a bad thing,” Wellbeloved said.
That sportsmanship was evident on Monday, not only with the players on the court, but also on the sidelines. The Red Hawks on the bench had different team celebrations they did to support their teammates after big plays.
“We just celebrate everything and every point,” junior outside hitter Molly Gleason said.
Red Hawks Keep Flying
The Red Hawks won 3-1, but it was not an easy win. After they led the match 2-0, the Dolphins came back and won the third set. In the fourth set, it went back and forth with each team taking the lead and then losing it.
It came down to the end with the Red Hawks leading 24-23 and it was the Dolphins turn to serve. As the ball went in the air on the serve, it hit the net and ended the match.
“On a day like today, winning the first two handily, and then not playing great in the third set, and then playing back and forth in the fourth set, but they gutted it out. They did the things they needed to do, and we got to celebrate our victories,” Turco said.
Although they were on the edge of a winner-take-all fifth set, the Red Hawks never wavered.
“We fight for everything, so it's the next play mentality. We are always looking for the next point, the next opportunity to get the ball back, and I think that really feeds in our mindset when we’re back and forth in those sets,” Gleason said.
What’s Next for the Red Hawks?
After a four-match road trip, the Red Hawks will host their first home match since the first match of the season. They will take on a red hot Nantucket team who have won five in a row. The Whalers also have a MAVCA Hall of Fame head coach in Andrew Viselli, so this will be a good matchup as these two teams face off for the first time this decade
