Neers Win 5th in a Row; Down Dixie

Safe to say Jill Schmiade has been the biggest supporter of SK Volleyball over the last several years.  Tonight, she presented the seniors with some awesome SK Superwoman to the 7th Power Senior Shirts.  Thanks Jill!

The Lady Neers wrapped up their KCSD tour tonight with a trip to Dixie for a match with the Colonels.  A very nice sized crowd turned out for the weeknight match that saw the Frosh and JV teams get things going in the right direction as they both posted wins.

The varsity team came out in the first set looking flat.  The Neers fell behind by a score of 7-1 but the girls would come start chipping at the Colonel lead and assume their first lead of the night at 10-9.  The set would stay close for the remainder of the match, although the SK bunch never panicked, even when falling behind by two late in the set.  SK would regain their newly found composure and pull out the 25-22 win.  The Neers would carry that mo into the second set, as confidence of the team soared allowing them to cruise to a 25-13 lead.  SK would jump out to a 10 point lead in the third set, before dropping their guard a bit, but still won by feeling fairly comfortable with a 25-19 win.  The Neers have now won 5 matches in a row and continue to improve match after match.  

Key stats for the match: 
Haley Robinson- 10 kills
Rachael Figgins-6 kills- 2 blocks
Ellie Smith- 6 kills - 2 aces
Sarah Sergent- 33 assists- 6 digs
Amarah Nicholson- 5 kills- 3 blocks
Kelsey Shamadlee- 8 digs
