Midway through the first set, the 7th/8th grade girls had faulted on five serves and looked discombobulated, forcing Coach Mitchell to call a timeout. They were tied at 12-12.
Out of the huddle, Edwena was able to coast a third ball over the net for a score and from that point forward, the girls never looked back.
The 7th/8th grade had a string off bump, set and spikes to close out the first set and played an overall strong second set, winning 25-15, 25-9 for their fifth win of the season.
It was a good performance following their second loss of the year a week ago.
One thing the girls worked on during the week was their communication and the girls were much more vocal. They were making calls from all sides of the court, which is a great step forward for a team that will need to communicate better come playoff time.
At (5-2), they have all but officially locked up a playoff berth, but will still need to win next week to secure either a No. 1 or No. 2 seed.
Edwena rattled off a string of serves in the first set, and also recorded an ace on match point. Karina, who served it right into the net in set one, bounced back in the second set and really extended the lead. On one serve, the ball hit another girl right in the chest.
Vivianna, Fiona, Edwena and Victoria all scored points with tips by the net or some nice hits.
