| 10.6.04 - A fired-up
Forester squad started the match with a 30-16 win in game one over the
University of St. Francis and came up with enough big plays on crucial points
to pull off the upset in four games. "This was a huge win for
us," said Coach Schroeder. "St. Francis came into this match
in third place in the conference." In game one, Jessica Kendall
led the Forester attack with six kills, while Stephanie Stearns kept the
defense going with 17 digs. The Cougars jumped out to a 7-2 lead in
game two, but following an HC timeout, the Foresters put together a run to
pull even at 10-10. After battling back and forth to a 30-30 tie, HC's
Marissa Scheiber got a kill and Kellie Hanson served an ace to give the
Foresters a 2-0 lead in the match. HC's eight unforced errors swung the
momentum and USF took advantage with the 30-23 win. Game four saw
several lead changes with neither team able to gain an advantage. With
the score tied at 32-32, HC's Andrea Tobey came up with a block to take the
33-32 lead and a Renee Biberstine kill sealed the win. For the match,
Kendall tallied 14 kills and four blocks. Tiffany Malfait led the team
with five blocks. Jami Fusselman had a team-high 35 assists and added
19 digs. Stearns finished with an amazing 41 digs on the night, and
Kellie Hanson had five aces and scored 16 points on her serving.
"Stephanie had an outstanding night on defense for us. In my nine
years of coaching, I have never had a player dig that many balls in a match.
Anywhere St. Francis hit, Steph was there to dig it up." The win
moves the Foresters to 8-11 on the season and 2-3 in the MCC. |
