MOUNT PULASKI -- Windsor/Stewardson-Strasburg High School finished second in the Mount Pulaski Volleyball Tournament Saturday.

In Pool play, WSS won over Shelbyville, 26-24, 25-18 and Illini Central, 25-18, 25-8 and fell to St. Joseph-Ogden, 25-23, 22-25, 15-9.

In semifinal action, the Hatchets defeated Mount Pulaski, 25-18, 25-22. That win advanced the Hatchets to the championship match where they fell to Mount Zion, 31-29, 23-25, 15-10.

"The girls really had a good weekend overall," said WSS Coach Ronda Schlechte. "Still had one out and I was on limited duty. Our subs came in and stepped up. We didn't have an easy game. Everyone came at us hard but that is exactly what I wanted.

"We played the net better than we have all year. It was fun to watch. Our losses went three sets and were battles. We let down a bit in the third sets but still super proud of the girls."
