Norwood is next
Barnstable won its opening 2026 Division 2 girls’ volleyball match, beating Silver Lake Regional 3–1 on November 6. The result carries the fifth seed into the Round of 16 against No. 12 Norwood.
MIAA lists the next match for November 11 at noon. Norwood advanced by defeating King Philip 3–0. The bracket’s selection records are 16–5 for Barnstable and 14–4 for Norwood.
Two October wins preceded the tournament
Barnstable’s varsity schedule shows it closing the regular season with a 3–1 win at North Quincy on October 28 and a 3–0 win over Notre Dame Academy of Hingham on October 30. Those followed losses to Shrewsbury and Oliver Ames.
Earlier in October, Barnstable beat Dartmouth and North Attleborough in straight sets, lost to Franklin, then beat Falmouth 3–0, Westborough 3–1 and Bridgewater-Raynham 3–1. That record shows several different tests before the four-set win over Silver Lake.
The school schedule lists the Norwood match in Barnstable High School’s Gymnasium. Its separate November 4 entry against Old Rochester is labeled a scrimmage, so it is not an additional state-tournament round or a result used here to extend Barnstable’s competitive record.
The program behind the fifth seed
Barnstable’s athletics page lists Tom Turco as the girls’ volleyball coach. The school links its Redhawks schedules from that page, giving supporters a direct place to check the Norwood fixture and subsequent updates.
