Bunga, Blazers breeze through Tuckahoe to advance to regional finals

CROSS RIVER – Serena Bunga has seen everything on the court in her time with the Millbrook girls volleyball team. Section championships, trips to the state final four and countless victories have been a part of the journey. It had been a while though, 2023 to be exact, since the senior relished in postseason success. She wasn't going to walk away without experiencing the joy of going deep into the postseason just one more time. Following up the team's Section 9 Class C championship the previous week, Millbrook showed its talent and resiliency once again by securing a 3-1 victory over Section 1's Tuckahoe in the New York State subregional at John Jay-Cross River on Wednesday afternoon, November 11. "It's something that we all really want to push towards and go to states again," Bunga said after the win, describing the team's determination. "We just think it's such an amazing feeling because our team is so close-knit. We love being with each other and playing with each other." The Blazers secured an early lead after a back-and-forth opening set and it looked as if the team was on its way to a sweep with a significant lead in the second.

A traumatized lanternfly speaks its truth

This past week, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Vassar’s most vulnerable: the spotted lanternfly. The bugs first arrived in the United States around 2014 and have kept their status as an invasive species since due to their, as one Facebook group puts it, “sex-crazed” ability to repopulate. However, since their arrival to campus in 2021, students have put it upon themselves to single-handedly exterminate them from Arlington. Possible reasons why lanternfly annihilation has become Vassar student’s latest pastime range from attempts at being environmentally conscious to taking their rage out in the bugs after failing their Intro to Clowning midterm.
