Concord-Carlisle volleyball enters its Tuesday, Oct. 13 home match against Westford Academy looking to end a five-match losing streak.

The Patriots fell to 2-9 overall after a 3-1 loss at Belmont on Friday, Oct. 9. That followed straight-set defeats against Lincoln-Sudbury, Burlington, Waltham and Newton South, according to MaxPreps.

Tuesday’s match begins at 5:30 p.m.
