ECVB faced Rushville last night in their home opener. All three teams won in straight sets.
Varsity won with the scores of 25-11, 25-11 and 25-20.
‘We started off strong with the first point of the game by three of our four seniors with a perfect pass by Disbro, perfect set by Gregg, and a powerful kill by Rosemeyer. That seemed to be the a common trend throughout the match. We dominated the first two sets, and it started with our passing. We passed a commanding 2.47 on serve receive which let us run whatever offense we wanted. Set three we just went through the motions. We let Rushville play with us point for point until 20-20 where we ended the match on a 5-0 run behind the serving of our other senior, Faith Fox. In set three we only passed 1.84 on serve receive and it showed with our lack of offense. The girls battled through enough to get the win.’ Trojans Coach Cassie Laker.
Varsity is now 4-2 on the season and 2-0 in EIAC. Next up: at Batesville on Thursday. JV starts at 5, varsity follows.
Tonight ECVB JV defeated the Rushville Lady Lions in two sets.
‘As a team there were many areas of growth in tonight’s match, especially behind the serving line. Recently serving has been an area of emphasis for this squad for it has been of our struggle in the past few matches, but not tonight. Also, there were quite a few athletes who stepped up and were above their usual average. Rushville never gave up, we just happened to keep the scoring runs to a minimum. I am proud of tonight’s performance for I started to see discipline and girls understanding why we have been practicing/focusing on the little things.’ Trojans Coach Jose Andres.
ECVB JV is now 5-1 on the season and 2-0 in the EIAC. Next up, Batesville on Thursday.
