Nardin Academy and Nichols are an even 5-5 against one another since September of 2018, but not for long. The Gators will venture away from home to square off against the Vikings at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Nardin Academy is coming into the matchup hot, having won their last four games.

Nardin Academy had to skate by with only a one-set margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the three-set drubbing they dealt Cardinal O'Hara on Friday. The Gators were the clear victors by a 3-0 margin over the Hawks.

Not only was the match a shutout, it was a big one: Nardin Academy took every set by at least 14 points. The match finished with set scores of 25-9, 25-9, 25-11.

Meanwhile, Nichols came up short against Mount St. Mary Academy on Friday, falling 3-0.

While Nichols was kept off the board, it wasn't for a lack of trying: they cut into Mount St. Mary Academy's winning margin in every set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-15, 25-18, 25-23.

Nardin Academy now has a winning record of 5-4. As for Nichols, they now have a losing record of 1-2.

Nardin Academy took their win against Nichols when the teams last played back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 3-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Gators since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
