|
Warren County won the match in three games ? 25-18, 25-17, 25-17 ? improving to 2-0 on the season.
In the first game the Lady Warriors had big problems with Warren County?s service game. Aggressive serving by Megan Hobbs and Ashlee Malone quickly put Warren County out in front. The Lady Pioneers played well in the backcourt as Hobbs and Rachel Walker came up with everything Riverdale hit at them to secure the victory in game one.
In the second game the Lady Pioneers? front line came up with several big kills and blocks, but Warren County?s serving once again provided much of the scoring.
Up 6-5, Brittany Frazier served six unanswered points, giving Warren County a 12-5 lead. The Lady Warriors fought their way back after winning several long volleys, making it a 18-15 game. Warren County settled down and provided solid passing, which got the offense in motion. Riverdale came up with just two more points in the game as Warren County went on to secure an eight-point victory.
In the final game Riverdale built some momentum using its outside hitters. Malone turned things around for the Lady Pioneers from the service line, however, serving five aces in a row and helping Warren County win the game and match.
?Our front line people did a great job tonight and dominated the net,? said coach Franklin Fisher. ?Our serving was very strong and that?s something we?ve been working on. Everybody did their job and we played aggressive.?
Malone led the way with eight aces and three kills. Frazier connected for five aces and seven assists. Mary Kate Fisher came up with six assists and 10 kills. Hobbs had three aces, Amy Hutton had one dig and Kallie Haley came up with one block.
Warren County?s junior varsity defeated Riverdale?s junior varsity 26-24, 15-25, 15-12 for the best two out of three.
