In the championship game, 13 Attack played EVRC 13-Hay from Evansville, Indiana. The Attack team knew that this match would be quite a challenge with the obvious height advantage of the 13-Hay team. This truly special group of young ladies on the Attack team all stepped up to the challenge and won, 25-14 and 25-22. Great job!
Kasey, Shawnice, and Olivia led the team this weekend in serving aces with 15, 9, and 8. Mariah had 5 aces and served 7 in a row to win the second game of the semifinal match. Attack served 95% in the last two gold medal rounds. Tasha, Jordan, Jessica W., and Jessica L. looked fantastic in serve receive all weekend. The team made many digs, making sure the ball was not going to hit the floor. In the last match, everyone on the team had at least 2 digs! Olivia and Kelci led the team with 25 and 16 kills, and Jessica L. and Kasey each had 12. Shawnice and Kelci led the team in blocks! With the help of great passes, Noelle did an awesome job of setting the ball this weekend.
