T-town, S. Central, NC/CC Nab Volleyball Wins

"As I've said before, it's always fun playing T-town," said WSS Coach Ronda Schlechte. "They make us think at the net more. Sometimes with the smaller teams, we 'forget' to see the block. T-town gives us the size we need to push us. They are good at keeping our defense on our toes also."

Ella Kinkelaar led the way for the Hatchets with two aces and 22 assists. Halle Moomaw finished with 11 kills and two block assists. Anna Albert had 10 digs. Samantha Hayes had two block assists.

"We played well tonight," said T-town Coach Jim Dietz. "We passed better than last night by a mile, but the run in the first set where we hit four in a row into the net, turned it from a close game to one where we had to take risks and it let Stew get aggressive. They're good, they've got Vonderheide and Moomaw, and that was that."

T-town was led by Sara Niemerg, RyLee Dittamore and TaNeal Einhorn with three kills each, Claresa Ruholl with seven digs, Emma Deters with four blocks and Kaylie Jordan with six assists.

In junior varsity play, Windsor/Stew-Stras claimed a victory, 27-25, 25-15 and is unbeaten with a 16-0 record. Mya Friese had two aces and two block assists. Brinlie Durbin led in kills with five and assists with 10. Kendra Hayes had 10 assists. Zaida Wascher led in digs with seven.

The Wooden Shoes were led by Elise Pals and Gabby Tegeler with three kills each, Olivia Cates with three digs, Brittany Swingler with eight assists, Madison Miller with two blocks and Lily Smith with two aces.

The Wooden Shoes nabbed the freshman/sophomore match, 25-23, 25-23.
