Wolves on the prowl

The North Star Wolves are a team on a mission this season. They won the AA championship last season and made it to OFSAA where they finished 4th. We're hoping to do better than we did last year." said grade 11 left side hitter Lauren Essenpreis. "Hopefully we can get a medal."

The Wolves are off to a 2-0 start and have swept both of their matches. "I think we're definitely driven. Everybody is fighing for it. Most people on the team now were on the team last year so we're all really wanting it this year." said Essenpreis who also plays for the South County Bandits 17U team that is ranked 4th in the province.

She has been playing volleyball since she was 10 and loves the environment. Essenpreis would like to play division-one in the U.S. one day.

In the meantime she's focused on helping her team finish the first semester undefeated. North Star swept Kingsville Thursday and have yet to drop a set. They host Riverside on the 19th before heading into the holiday break.
