NEW BRITAIN — Six New Britain boys volleyball seniors were celebrated Thursday on Senior Night when the team hosted the Xavier Falcons in its regular-season finale.
Despite a loss to the visiting Xavier Falcons, New Britain had a night of celebration as they recognized their senior class that includes Casper Adamus, Eric Aguilar, Liam Alape, Werner Lynes, Jakub Pelka, and Joshua Ramales.
“In regards to the seniors, they’ve been a huge impact on our program,” said New Britain boys volleyball coach Michelle Abraham. “Years in, and they’ve laid a foundation for our younger kids and what our expectations are moving forward. They are the catalyst of our program. Their driving determination was evident off-season as they worked on their skills and their game.”
Looking to close the regular-season on a four-match win streak, Xavier got in New Britain’s way. The Falcons won 3-1 (25-8 15-25 25-14 25-19.)
In the loss for New Britain, Jayden Santiago had seven kills and was 12-13 on the service line, with blocks, & six digs. Gabe Pedzich had 24 assists and seven digs and was 9-for-9 from the service line. Werner Lynes had 11 kills and six digs. Casper Adamus had 10 digs.
Following the loss, the Golden Hurricanes finished its regular-season with a 12-6 record. Abraham was satisfied with the team’s regular-season result, and is confident that they can make runs in the Central Connecticut Conference as well as the state tournament if they play to the best of their abilities.
“12 and six was great, the losses we had hurt us,” said Abraham. “Our expectations for this group of players have been high as coaches. We believe they have the skill and ability to get the job done. They need to believe it the entire night as well as start strong and not give up easy points.”
New Britain will play in the first round of the CCC volleyball tournament on Tuesday. They’ll face the Glastonbury Guardians at Glastonbury High School at 6:00 p.m. New Britain defeated Glastonbury 3-2 (17-25 22-25 25-22 25-15 15-12) in the two team’s regular-season meeting on April 21.
“Moving forward we have to take care of the ball,” Abraham said. “We have to have better passes to our sitter so we can create more of an offense. The skills are there. We just have to have it all together on game night.”

Shaler’s Brandon Ayree and Jacob Crissman watch a block.
Gold will be handed out to the winners of the 2025 WPIAL boys volleyball championship matches Saturday afternoon at Peters Township.
One of them could be district title No. 23 for No. 1 North Allegheny (14-1) as the Tigers battle section rival No. 2 Seneca Valley (14-3) in the Class 3A championship match at 1 p.m.
The Tigers have accumulated the most district boys volleyball crowns, eight more than the No. 2 team on the list, old Homestead HS.
Most of the championships have comes in this century, with 16 titles since 2000.
NA has three-peated twice and on two other occasions won five in a row between 2017-2022 (no season in 2020) and captured eight straight crowns between 2007-2014.
In fact, the two-year dry spell since 2022 ties for the longest drought since 2003 after the Tigers failed to win gold in the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
Meanwhile, the Raiders are in search of their first WPIAL boys volleyball championship.
Thus far this postseason, both teams had a first-round bye.
North Allegheny has swept past Mt. Lebanon in the quarterfinals and Pine-Richland in the semifinals by scores of 3-0.
Seneca Valley defeated Canon-McMillan in the quarters, 3-0, and then edged Penn-Trafford in the semis, 3-2.
This is the rubber match of the three meetings between the teams this season.
North Allegheny won the most recent on May 8, 3-1.
In the first match, Seneca Valley handed NA its only loss on April 7, 3-2.
Joining the double class club?
Top-seeded Shaler (15-1) is looking for a third straight district title and to join an exclusive club when it goes up against No. 2 Ambridge (15-1) in the WPIAL Class 2A boys volleyball finals at 3 p.m.
The Titans captured Class 3A gold in 2023 and 2024; however, realignment this offseason dropped them to Class 2A.
From 1936-2007, there was only one classification in boys volleyball in the state.
Shaler is now trying to become the fourth school to win gold in both classes, joining Montour, Ambridge and Deer Lakes.
It won’t be easy as the Titans go up against a Bridgers program that has the fourth-most district boys volleyball titles with 10.
Ambridge is looking for its first championship this decade with its last title coming in 2019.
Shaler and Ambridge each enjoyed opening-round byes in the 2025 postseason.
The Titans have swept past Hopewell and South Fayette in the quarters and semis by scores of 3-0.
The Bridgers ousted Thomas Jefferson in the quarterfinals, 3-1, and then got past Mars in the semifinals, 3-2.
The only loss of the season for Shaler came in a nonsection match against North Allegheny.
The lone defeat for Ambridge came in a Section 4-2A match against South Fayette.
