Volleyball Splits with Riverland in a Busy Weekend

The Lady Spartans lost 3-2 vs. Riverland CC in Austin Friday night but came back to beat them 25-11 and 25-14 at the Rochester invitational on Saturday.

Nicky Carrison led the team with 48 kills, 11 block and 8 ace serves over the weekend.

"It was disappointing losing a division match to Riverland on Friday night. We couldn't close the door in game 4. We had a lead and let them back in forcing game 5. We got behind early and just couldn't get any rhythm going. We did get to play them right away the next morning in the Rochester Tournament. The girls did a nice job of coming out of the gate strong and never looked back. Even though we lost a more important match to them the night before, redeeming ourselves with a strong win against them right away the next morning definitely gave us the confidence we needed to have a good day. We made a couple position changes earlier in the day and it seemed to work well for us. Over all, we played a great tournament, said Head Coach Terri Strom.
