“I know our girls are capable of playing this way,  said Coach Cronin.  “Playing consistent has been a our main problem this year.”

Cougar volleyball struggles in five matches

Cougar Volleyball saw the varsity record slip to 2-10 as they dropped  five matches last week.

 

They met a State powerhouse in Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family.  With All-Stater Alyssa Frauendorfer leading the way Humphrey was State Champion in 2011 &2012.  With Frauendorfer’s graduation the co-op works out perfectly with Oklahoma State basketball recruit Kaylee Jensen joining the Lady Bulldogs.

 

“She’s 6′ 4″ and when they give her  a good set there is no way our girls came leap high enough to block her,” Said Coach Candi Cronin.

 

The (11-1) Bulldogs won decisively 25-2 and 25-18   L-D Stats:  (K A  B D)  Maddie R.0 0 0 0,  Vanessa P. 1 0 3 2,  Kelly W. 1 0 0 3, Hannah C. 0 1 2 3,  Haley B. 0 0 1 2,  Darcy

The team tried a new offense at the Tekamah-Herman  Tournament.  “We switched to the 6-2 offense like Nebraska runs,” said Coach Cronin.  We have two setters with Darcy being joined by Brianne..  We were pretty rough in the first game, but got better as the tournament went on.  By the Arlington match we were getting a pretty good feel for the way to play.”

 

(10-2) Tekamah-Herman won 25-11 and 25-16.  Stats:  Maddie R.   0  1   0  9,  Vanessa P.  3  0  2  0,  Kelly W.  1  0   0  0,  Hannah C.  1  1  2  0,  Haley B.  0  0  0  1,  Darcy S.  0 0  0  5,  Brianne H.  1  1  0  2,  Sarah A.  0 0 0 10,  Abby P.  0 0 0 2.  Set Assists:  Darcy 3   Brianne 2.

 

Fort Calhoun was their second opponent.  The (6-6) Lady Pioneers took the match 25-20 and 25-14.  Stats:  Maddie R.  5  1  0 6,  Vanessa P.  0  1  0  0,  Kelly W. 0 0 0 0, Hannah C.  1  1  0  0,  Haley B.  0  1  0   2,   Darcy S.  0  1  09 3,  Brianne H.  1  1  0  5,  Sarah A.  0 0 0 9,  Abby P.  0 0 0 4.  Set Assists:  Darcy 4,  Brianne 1,  Hannah  1,  Haley  1.

 

The Lady Cougars had their best hitting game of the season against Arlington.  Their attacks came up with 26 kills.  Despite their efforts Northeast lost 2-1 with Arlington taking the opening set 25-23; Northeast topped the Eagle 25-19 in game two;  Arlington took the third 25-21.
Stats:  Madie R.  3  0  0  9,  Vanessa P.  4  3  0  2,  Kelly W.  8  0  0 1,  Hannah C.  2  4  1  1,  Haley B.  2  0  0  4,  Darcy S.  0  0  0  7,  Brianne H.  7  3  0  6,  Sarah A. 0 0 0 10, Abby P.  0 0 0 5.    Set Assists:   Maddie  2,  Darcy 12  Brianne 7.

The Wakefield Tournament took place on Thursday and Saturday.  The opening  night the Cougars lost to tournament winner Lutheran High NE 25-8 and 25-20.  Stanton took a two set win in their second match , 25-10 and 25-20.

 

On Saturday, the team completed pool play with a three set loss to Laurel-Concord.  The Bear won 25-17 in set one.  Northeast rebounded for a 25-22 win in the second game, but L-C took the match with a 25-19 score in the third game.

Triangular sweep brings Gators to .500 mark

The Wisner-Pilger Gator softball team picked up some big wins this week, including a sweep of triangular action Thursday in West Point.

Big finishes played the key in wins of 13-5 over Tekamah-Herman and 14-3 over West Point-Beemer.

In the battle with T-H, the Gators trailed 5-3 entering the sixth inning, but the bats heated up in a hurry.

Fourteen Gators stepped to the plate in the inning, producing 10 runs for the 13-5 win.

Teddy McMahon had a huge double in the rally, driving in three of the ten runs. Eve Ortmeier and Kari Liermann finished with two hits each in the rally.

Alexis Knust came away with three hits to lead the Gators, which finished with 13 total hits. Finishing with two hits each were Ortmeier, Krista Ott, and Kari Liermann.

The second battle of the night saw W-P and WP-B tied at 3-3 through three innings. Again the locals exploded.

This time, 15 hitters stepped to the plate and produced 11 runs in the top of the fourth inning.

Leading the rally was Kayli Wheaton with a grand slam home run over the fence.

W-P finished with 11 hits, getting two each from Suzanne Ras, Knust, and Shayna McCain.

In a battle last Tuesday, the locals traveled to O’Neill in a rematch of the previous weekend’s third place contest.

The Gators needed seven innings this time around, but came away with a 9-4 victory.

W-P trailed 3-0 in the game, but dominated the scoring column after three innings. The nine Gator runs came via three-run rallies in each of the fourth, fifth, and seventh innings.

On the other hand, the pitching combination of Heidi Miller and Suzanne Ras combined to allow just two runs in the final six innings for O’Neill. Miller earned the win, while Rass picked up the save.

Offensively, Ortmeier and Samantha Liermann had big nights with two hits each. Liermann drove in four runs, while Ortmeier scored a pair.

The trio of wins improved W-P to 6-6 on the season.

This came after a 1-2 tourney showing at the Gator Invite. W-P defeated Lincoln High 6-5 to start off the tourney, but fell in consecutive matchups with David City 5-8 and O’Neill 3-6.
