Wolverines Volleyball Team Undefeated So Far

Oxford has its toughest match of the season coming up on Wednesday.

The Oxford High School volleyball team is off to a 3-0 start and has its toughest matchup of the season ahead on Wednesday.

That's when the Wolverines head to Cheshire to play the defending Class L state champion Rams, who defeated Shelton Monday night for their 47th consecutive victory.

The Wolverines are no slouch themselves, though. The team, which played in the Class M state championship last year, has not lost a set through the first three games this season.
