The Lady Bulldogs traveled to St. Leon to take on the Trojans in a Conference match- up. The Bulldogs were defeated in 3 sets. 25-13, 21-25, 25-20.
We gave them a much better match this time around. We still aren’t healthy and you have to be on your A-game when you play EC. We are getting better but had a few unforced errors in set 1 that really took us out of our game. We bounced back and played much better in sets 2 & 3. Leading us statistically on the night were Kylie Laker and Regina Gerstbauer serving both 12 for 13. Katie Bedel had 9 kills followed by Macy Prickel with 7. Our defense was led by freshman Laney Walsman with 19 digs and Kylie Laker with 13. Kylie also had 20 assists on the night.

The team rallied to get the win in set 2 after losing starter Sophie Lee to an ankle injury.

Sydnee Schaefer led the defense with 17 digs. Regina Gerstbauer handled all setting duties in the 5-1 offense picking up 15 assists.

ECVB hosted Batesville yesterday for the conference match-up. We came out on top in three straight sets.
We broke the mold with this game- we started strong. We came out firing and pushed from the start. Our serving and defense led the way. We kept them out of system with our serving and frustrated Batesville’s hitters with our block and backcourt.
Set two and three we just let off the gas. We settled for “good enough” instead of pushing ourselves. We seemed to be going through the motions instead of attacking the way we did in the first set. We played just good enough to win.
Varsity is now 12-6 on the season and 4-0 in the EIAC. Next up: at Lawrenceburg on Tuesday.

EC JV winning against Batesville 25-22 23-25 15-8
Tonight against the Batesville Bulldogs ECVB had another great start to a match. With intensity and knowledge the girls were able to hold off the Bulldogs in the first set. Once again, come second set, the girls became way too comfortable with a 1-0 lead that they did not play to the caliber they should. Like I have said in recent matches, this group has grit. To walk away with positives on the night, they never gave up and they showed hustle and heart in another close match. Their efforts landed them another conference win, onward!
JV is now 11-3 on the season and 5-0 in the EIAC. Next up, Lawerence North Invitational on Saturday starting at 8:30 am.
