O’Hara’s Hickey shrugs off fever to spike Springfield

Regan Hickey has been sick all week, but the Cardinal O’Hara captain has not allowed the illness to keep her out of the lineup.

Hickey collected 11 kills, 10 digs, one block, one ace and one assist while playing under the weather to lead the Lions to a 3-0 nonleague volleyball victory over Springfield Wednesday.

“She is very valuable to us,” O’Hara coach Bill Collins said. “She’s always on the floor. She has played through it admirably.”

Siobhan Boylan added seven kills and three blocks. Emily Collins chipped in 21 digs and Bridget McGuinn pounded 10 kills for the Lions (15-1).

Emily Gowman (16 digs) and Ashley Dolan (10 assists) led Springfield.
