An undersized
Forester squad used aggressive serving and an up-tempo offense to
collect its first MCC win of the season, a 30-17, 30-23, 30-28 victory
over the University of St. Francis.
To compete against the much taller
Cougar line-up, the Foresters created a game-plan, stuck to it and
pulled off the big win. The Foresters used a lot of jump serves
that put St. Francis on the defensive. Alyssa Schroeder (7) and
Brittney Smelser (6) combined for 13 aces which kept the Cougars off
balance and unable to take advantage of their size. HU also
passed well from start to finish giving themselves opportunities to
run a quicker paced offense that worked well against the St. Francis
frontline.
Brittney
Smelser led HU with 15 kills. Kayley Cervenka and Smelser each had three blocks,
Stephanie Stearns had 16 digs and Alyssa Schroeder added 37 assists.
"We started out right
from the beginning doing everything well that we have been working
on," said Coach Schroeder. "Our serves took St. Francis out of the
match from the start and Alyssa and Brittney connected extremely well
with each other on offense." |
