Setters Isabella Hellman and Cora Cao had two aces behind the service line and did a great job assisting hitters and making defensive saves. These ladies saw a lot of ups and downs throughout the season but fought hard to the end. They have a bright future ahead of them.
The Gold “A” had their best outing yet against the Lady Eagles. Although they lost 13-25 and 25-27, these girls never gave up. Outside hitter Olivia Witte had her best game of the season with 6 big kills and two blocks. She was followed closely by Middle Blocker Peyton Smith who had 5 kills and two blocks. Our defense was outstanding, shutting down two huge hitters on the other side of the net. Ainsley Spangle and Rylee Hallford kept the ball off the floor and had a combined 45 saves! Middle Blocker Emily Ludtka stepped up her service game with 4 great serves and great back row defense to keep the ball in her hands. I am so proud of the tenacity and class these girls showed through this game. They have made this season so much fun and we cannot wait to see the awesome things they accomplish in the future.
Closing out the evening, the White “C” team fought hard but lost in two games of 21-25 and 22-25. We cannot say enough about this team as a whole. They have come so incredibly far in their level of skill and play. Defensive Specialist Paige Marchino had and outstanding night with 15 saves, 2 back row kills and 4 hard serves. Lilly Pierce also did her part with 8 saves and two great serves from behind the service line. Kaitlin Binion covered her hitters and blockers and was able to save 7 balls from the floor that turned into awesome point winning plays! Madison Cody and Maddison Blunt hustled on the back row and really stepped up their serve-receive games! These girls set goals and crushed them all season. We are so proud of them!
This season has been phenomenal and we are so proud of all the blood, sweat and tears that these girls have put in since August. We are incredibly excited to see what the future holds for these athletes and feel so blessed to have been a part of their athletic journey. One heart, one team. Such a true statement. Go Lionettes!
