The outstanding 2013 volleyball season for Notre Dame Prep ended today in spectacular fashion as the Fighting Irish defeated Grand Rapids South Christian three games to one (25-15, 25-19, 19-25, 25-23) in the MHSAA Class B final in Battle Creek.
This is the second state championship for head coach Betty Wroubel and NDP, and it comes in her 20th year at the helm. Wroubel took the Irish to its first state title in 2007. She said after the game that the entire team contributed to today's big win and that she's very proud of them.
Notre Dame Prep, which finishes the season 62-2-1, also earned the Catholic League A-B title this year.
