Check out the recaps for SOL girls’ volleyball teams in action Monday.
Non-league
CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 3, WISSAHICKON 1 (25-13, 25-19, 17-25, 25-17)
South coach Kurt Godfrey called Monday’s non-league win “a true team effort.” That effectively summed up a match that saw more than a few Titans come up big.
Sophomore outside hitter Millie Grove (15 kills, eight digs) led a trio of Titans with double-digit kills. Junior outside hitter Courtney Pohl (13 kills, five digs) and senior middle Allie Burke (10 kills, two blocks, one assist) also had big nights.
Senior setter Lizzie Shirley had 46 assists, three aces, two kills and eight digs, and senior libero McKenna Clow had 12 digs. Sophomore defensive specialist Shannon Rector had 13 digs and one kill, and junior outside Dana Durkin had three kills.
“We got contributions from up and down the roster tonight,”
Godfrey said. "I think Lizzie had a really good night for us. When we were able to get some different girls into the line-up tonight she made sure she fed the ball to them. It was really nice to see all of Dana's hard work pay off for her tonight. She had three really nice kills for us. It was also really great to see Shannon moving around on defense for us and picking up so many digs. Allie and Courtney were absolutely awesome for us and I am so proud of both of them. We have another game tomorrow night so we are excited to keep our momentum going from tonight."
PENNRIDGE 3, WILLIAM TENNENT 1 (25-23, 20-25, 17-25, 19-25)
The visiting Rams defeated a pesky Panther squad in four sets, but Tennent coach Brian Bassler had nothing but good things to say about his team’s effort.
“It was by far the best we have played all year, especially serving,” Bassler said. “We stayed focused and worked harder for longer tonight. We are closer to putting it all together.”
The Panthers had 14 aces as a team, led by Julia Richard with five. Chiara Ciccone anchored the defense with 20 digs. Mackenzie Clee had nine digs and four aces. Riley Morgan (seven kills) and Sara Ingham (five kills, five blocks) had strong matches at the net. Julia Booz had 11 assists.
