Trojans And Bengals Split Middle School Volleyball Battle

VolleyballSt. Nicholas 7th grade team loses to Greendale, but the 8th grade team picks up a win for “regular” season opening match.

The 7th grade team lost to Greendale at their gym on 8/19 in 3 sets with scores of 25-22, 18-25, and 15-13. Top servers: Ella Fledderman: 15/16 with 6 Aces and Katie Johnson: 11/14 with 4 Aces. It was a quite impressive start of the season for our very young team with only 2 7th graders there tonight and 5 6th graders. The girls learned quite a bit from this opening match.

The 8th grade team defeated Greendale (8/19) in 2 sets with scores of 25-18 and 25-20. Two main things that stand out about the 8th grade team: they play well together, and they don’t get down on themselves when errors are made; they simply learn from their mistakes and move forward to the next point. Top servers: Molly Gregg: 22/22 with 7 Aces; Ella Fledderman: 15/16 with 1 Ace; and Erica Kathman: 8/10 with 2 Aces.

St. Nicholas will be back in action next week when they play St. Michael’s on Monday, Mt. Carmel on Tuesday, and Milan on Thursday.
