ECVB traveled to Zionsville for the first time on Saturday. Varsity didn’t fair too well, going 1-2 on the day.
EC vs. Zionsville- lost 25-16, 25-15
It was our typical Saturday morning start- slow, no energy, and one step behind. The girls did a good job at trying to put some runs together, but we made everything too easy for Zionsville. We gave them over half of their points in the match with unforced errors and gave them too many easy balls. Playing a disciplined team means you have to make them work for every point and we didn’t do that. On a more exciting note, senior Molly Gregg hit another milestone! She has officially recorded over 1,000 career digs and continues to be one of our best defensive threats! Congrats, Molly!
EC vs. Ritter- lost 25-21, 18-25, 13-15-13
We defeated Cardinal Ritter a couple of weeks ago at Brownstown 2-0, but couldn’t get into a groove often enough on Saturday to do the same. Instead, we were slow to the ball and lacked any kind of enthusiasm. It looked like we just hoped Ritter would make an error instead of going after it and trying to earn points. We went through the motions and the result showed.
EC vs. West Lafayette- won 25-22, 25-11
The first set was more of a battle than it should be, but the girls ended the day on a good note. They dominated the second set with strong, precise serving and much improved serve receive. Our defense, both at the net and in the back court, did a great job at keeping us in system and keeping West Lafayette out of system and out of the comfort zone.
Varsity is now 11-6 on the season. Next up: Batesville Tuesday at EC. JV starts at 5.
