Neers Down Demons

Back to the Joe tonight for the 32^nd District Trifecta as SK wrapped up 3 games in a row against their 32^nd District foes.  Williamstown was on the schedule tonight as t0he Neers were once again without the services of seniors Ellie Smith and Schmee.  Ellie was under the weather and Schmee was banged up after her stunt action last night and will be out for a week or so.  You could see it in her face sitting on the bench that she wasn’t enjoying her unplanned time off. 

After putting together a couple of nights of play where the confidence was growing, the team came out in the first set against the Lady Demons and played….um, bad.  SK trailed by a score of 10-8 early in the first set.  They would start getting things together later in the set and would pull out the 25-18 win after nip and tuck action .  The Neers would settle down in the second and third sets and wallop the Demons by scores of 25-6 and 25-4 as Coach Atwood would get everyone involved in the match.

Stats from the night:
Haley Robinson  8 kills
Amarah Nicholson 7 Kills – 4 Blocks
Rachael Figgins  6 Kills – 3 blocks
MacKenzie Bard 15 assists
Emily Popham 6 aces
The schedule starts heating up next week as SK takes to the road in a couple of tough matches as they play cross county rival Scott on Tuesday followed by a match-up with the paNDAs on Thursday.
