With the fall sports season settling in, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory & St. Ignatius College Prep prepare to kick off the 2025-2026 Bruce Mahoney series with the Girls Volleyball matchup this Tuesday. This longstanding rivalry series is in its 81st edition and with athletes from both sides fired up, it's safe to say that we are in for some exciting games.

On Friday, September 19th, we sat down with volleyball players Elsa Dack '27 & Cali Tangaan '27 to get a bit of insight on the Fighting Irish's attitude as they approach this Tuesday's big game. Elsa & Cali enthusiastically shared their responses, which highly represented their team's unity, support, and commitment to the sport.
