In addition to a height disadvantage, the Raiders also lack a single club player, making their success that much more remarkable. Szpakowski said his team has shown an ability to overcome the odds all season. "Small but mighty," Szpakowski said. "They call us the small school with the big heart and this team really reflects that. They've got the heart of a lion." The Raiders' opponent also showed some heart in reaching the final. "These guys came a long way in six weeks," said Trailblazers coach Marie Guest. "Aquinas is a good team and we lost that game by inches." In the opening week of the season, Iroquois Ridge lost to Abbey Park, a team that went on to finish 2-8. After the opening-week loss, the Trailblazers reeled off eight straight victories until having their streak snapped by Aquinas in the final week of the regular season. Like Aquinas, Iroquois Ridge lacks club experience. Only former competitive swimmer Owen Scarrow, in his first year of club volleyball, plays outside of high school. Guest said the team's passing and serving improved dramatically over the course of the season, and Onkar Bedi provided leadership. Jon Moate helped the Trailblazers with a strong attack Monday as well.
