The UCIS JV Girls Volleyball team played in their first CMAC match of the season on Wednesday, April 24th at Nakornpayap International School (NIS). The Falcons were defeated by the Stallions in straight sets, but had a strong performance considering it was the first match in school history. After a competitive 25-20 first set, the Stallions pulled away with a 25-8 second set victory to secure the win.
The UCIS JV Girls Volleyball team traveled to Grace International School (GIS) on Thursday, April 25th to play in their second match of the season against the Tigers.
