The Whippet Volleyball Squad finished 16th overall in the Warhawk Invite this past weekend. Once again, the Whippets showed they are a team who can compete beating the 11th place Union Grove team in two straight sets and competing with a very tough pool play bracket with the likes of Monona Grove and Prescott (4th and 5th place finishers respectively).
We continue to see sparks of our young team pointing it together. Mental errors made the difference in this tournament, which saw the young squad miss 77 total serves over the course of two days. In sharing with the team this staggering stat, we discussed the fact that had we not given those points away, we would have been on the winning side of matches.
Through these mistakes we continue to see progress. This is a great group of athletes who are owning the areas needed to make us a great team. They continue to reflect, ask questions, and give 100% every day at practice. As we competed with high caliber teams, and beat Union Grove in straight sets, the Whippets saw they could put things together and do what was needed to win ball games. This confidence is what we need to build!
I was proud of their fight and their will to keep supporting one another. As we shore up the mental errors and fine tune our offensive and defensive skills, we will be ready for conference play.
Stat leaders for the Whippets included:
Prescott (14-25, 12-25) Calli Grosinske with 3 kills, 3 assists, and 1 block, Ella Spear with 6 digs, and Emmanuella Mbifi with 1 block
Monona Grove (17-25, 14-25), Calli Grosinske had 5 kills and 1 block, Ella Spear had 6 digs, Emmanuella Mbifi with 1 block, and Marina Linos led with 6 assists
