The Linden girls’ volleyball team is off to its best start in school history.

Battle-tested seniors Samantha Bowbliss, Gissela Roberts and Ashley Robles have guided the team to an 11-1 record.

Junior captain Sophia Morin broke the school’s assist record this season and sophomore Jameela Burnham has emerged as the team’s leading hitter.

The Tigers will be hosting their first “Dig Pink” volleyball match against Oak Knoll Oct. 25.

Proceeds from the match will be donated to the Side-Out Foundation, a charity that raises money for breast cancer awareness and research.
