East Central and Greensburg faced off in the season open at East Central on Monday night. The Lady Trojans came out on top with the scores of 25-19, 25-21, and 25-19.
“This was one of the best Greensburg teams I’ve seen in several years. They put up a good fight. We fell flat half way through game one managed to squeak by enough to win the match in three.” -Coach Laker.
EC started off with an ankle injury to senior middle Nicole Sandmann during warm-ups, so adjustments had to be made at the last minute. “All in all, I think the girls took the challenge head on and adjusted quickly, but we still didn’t play to our potential. This is a great group and I have very high expectations for the season.”
For The Lady Trojans, Becca Eckstein led with 31 sets, Brianne Fox had 10 attacks with 4 of them kills, Erin Wilhelm 8 digs, and Kendall Gindling 7 serves with 2 of them aces.
EC is 1-0 on the season and in conference.
Next game for EC will be on Thursday, August 21 at 5pm at EC against South Dearborn.
