Paynesville match
“We played lights out. Senior middle Kristen led the team with 13 kills, but senior right Lexi Myer and sophomore left Ellie Becker really presented tonight and created a more dynamic offense. Our defenders were scrappy and got the ball up, so Olivia could move the ball around well to get 32 set assists. It helped that we had 9 service aces as a team, too,” explained Coach Mortenson.
