The Whitewater Volleyball team lost to Johnson Creek in 4 sets (25-16, 23-25, 16-25, 16-25) on Thursday, October 12.
Whitewater came out strong in the first set and took charge from behind the service line, accumulating 24 aces on the night, with Ella Spear picking up 11 of those aces, and winning the first set. Ella really has been working hard on her serving game, and tonight she came out on fire. Eleven aces on the night is an outstanding stat. She also has been dialing in to making sure she is leading in her defensive play!
Unfortunately, we couldn’t hold the momentum from the first set and lost the next three.
Statistical leaders on the night included Calli Grosinske with a double-double with 13 kills, 3 aces, 13 digs, and 2 blocks, Ella Spear with a double-double with 11 aces and 11 digs, Emmanuella Mbifi with 4 kills and 2 blocks, Zoe Kohl with 11 digs, and Marina Linos with 13 assists and 4 aces.
Zoe Kohl has really been working hard to refine her defense. She is asking great questions, and working hard each day in practice. It has been great to see her dig stat improve with double digits tonight!
Whitewater will travel to Stoughton for their first regional match up at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, October 17.
