| 11.10.07 - Despite
losing to Taylor in the semifinals of the MCC Tournament, the
Foresters still had an opportunity to move on to the NAIA Region VIII
tournament if they could knock off Bethel College in a consolation
game. HU took game two from the Pilots, but the other three
games were not very close as Bethel brought the Foresters' season to a
close with a 30-21, 17-30, 30-22, 30-15 loss.
Brittney Smelser led HU with 15 kills and
three aces. Heidi Christner added 12 kills and two blocks.
Alyssa Schroeder dished out 45 assists and Stephanie Stearns finished
with 33 digs.
"We really struggled against Bethel's
blockers," said Coach Schroeder. "We had trouble with our
quick-tempo offense because our passing was really up-and-down.
The Foresters concluded their season
with a 24-9 record. Stearns was named the MCC Libero of the Year
for the third straight season and Schroeder joined her on the MCC
All-Conference First Team. Smelser and Kayley Cervenka were both
Second Team selections. |
