After a lackluster season last year, South's volleyball squad wanted to return
to form this year. Used to a winning
tradition coach Roberts wanted to put last year behind and set the team on path. And the team made a statement that they indeed
were on their way back in their opener against Carlisle, dominating the match and winning in
straight sets 25-6, 25-11, 25-6. The team maintained
control throughout the match and never let the Indians have a sniff at a
comeback.
Taylor Kirkpatrick lead
the way for the Lady Panthers serving up ten aces, five digs and dishing out
eleven assists. Paris
Gruber knocked down eight kills and had a block assist with teammate Taylor
Kirkpatrick. Skyler Lain stepped
up with five aces and eight digs. Caitlyn Meyers chipped in with three
digs, five kills and a block assist with teammate Gentry Gates, while Gentry
posted eight assists and four kills. Kaylee Johnson turned in a solid
performance of her own scoring ten service points,three aces
and seven digs. And In her varsity debut Abby Beneke garnered four aces
and three kills.
Coach Roberts commented
after the match, “Even though it was a non-league contest it's a good first win.
It was a nice way to ease into the season before things get challenging and
chaotic in league play
come the first two weeks of September.”
This puts South at 1-0 for the week. Their next matches are as follows: 8/26 Stivers (home)8/29 at Bradford 9/3 Arcanum (home)
