Raiders Take It To The Tornadoes
The Varsity volleyball team defeated the Timberlake Tornadoes in three straight games in a non-conference matchup. Outstanding defense and serving helped the Raiders to victory. Sarah Jessee had a game high 17 assists and provided 4 kills. The other attacks were distributed to the other players rather evenly. Marli Dabareiner led the kill column with 5 kills. Anna Black, Emma Caveness, and Kaki Comer each had 3 kills. Mary McConaughy and Olivia Langhorn each had 1 kill on the night. Kaki Comer led the defense with 6 digs. The team collectively complied 10 service aces with Sharnice Mayo obtaining her first ace of the season.
Raiders Fall To The Vikings
The Varsity volleyball team played a tough match against the Northside Vikings. It seemed as though the Raiders could just not get a run going. Sarah Jessee had 6 assists on the night and Marli Dabareiner led the attack with 4 kills.

St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church is hosting a concert Thursday, October 9, 7:30pm, by the Russian a cappella quartet, Konevets. The group, founded in 1992, takes its name from the Konevets Island and Monastery, 160 kilometers northeast of St. Petersburg. Their repertoire includes Russian sacred music, ranging from hymns by 20th century composers, to ancient chants in one, two and three part arrangements. They also feature Russian folk songs, regimental songs and marches of the Tsarist armies and military academies, forbidden during communist times and choral music by Russian composers, with lyrics by Russian poets such as Puskin and Lermontov. A free will offering will be taken following the concert. A portion of their profit will go toward the restoration of the Konevets Monastery, built over 600 years ago, which suffered catastrophic damage during the Soviet era.
St. Elizabeth’s is located at 2339 Grandin Road, SW. For more information you may call the church (540.774.5183) or visit our web site, www.stelizabethsroanoke.org.]]>
