CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 3, CENTRAL BUCKS EAST 1 (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-19)
The Titans earned a hard-fought win in four sets over their neighboring rival.
"Tonight we played really well outside of the second set. CB East is a strong team and we always battle with them." Said CB South Head Coach Kurt Godfrey. "All of the girls know each other from club and we know exactly how talented the other side of the net is this year. Jenn (Krzeminsk), Halle (Sharp) and Vivien (Agassi) are all really strong hitters and you have to plan and practice really hard to get the best of them. Anna (Ritter) is such a great setter and if you aren't careful, she can catch you sleeping with a couple dumps right in a row."
On this night, the Titans had an answer for all the Patriots’ weapons. Junior Allie Burke continued to come up big at the middle of the net, finishing with six aces, 11 kills, four blocks and five digs. Junior setter Lizzie Shirley had 30 assists, two kills and 13 digs, and sophomore outside Courtney Pohl had nine kills and two digs. Senior outside Maddy Morrow contributed three aces, six kills, one block and 10 digs, and senior defensive specialist Maddie Mauri had 18 digs.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of all of our girls tonight. It was a total team effort,” Godfrey said. “Allie and Lizzie were really on the same page tonight at the net and Allie had a heck of a game from the service line.
“Our outsides, Courtney and Maddy, were great and really consistent for us tonight. We played really great defense tonight and dug in deep when we needed it. When we go to East in October, I can bet you its going to be a huge battle on their senior night. We are really looking forward to a good match and celebrating both programs' seniors!"
For the Patriots, Anna Ritter totaled 27 assists, two aces and four digs. Jenn Krzeminski had eight kills and five digs. Maddy Lacouture added five kills and one block.
