CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 3, COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 0 (25-17, 25-23, 25-20)
The Titans not only earned a sweep of the Golden Hawks but setter Lizzie Shirley reached a personal milestone when she collected the 1000th assist of her stellar career.
“During our first set tonight, Lizzie was able to get her 1000th career assist,” Titans’ coach Kurt Godfrey said. “I can’t even begin to tell you how proud of her I am tonight. I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to coach Lizzie at CB South and on multiple club teams. She is one of the smartest and most dedicated setters I’ve ever had the opportunity to coach.
“She’s been a leader on and off the court since she made varsity. Lizzie has started for us since her sophomore year, when she ran a 6-2, and last season she ended just shy of 1000 assists. We knew it was coming tonight and once she got to 1000, I called timeout and we celebrated for a few seconds as a team. She, of course, just wanted to get back on the court and keep playing but I thought it was important for us to mark the accomplishment. She’s done an absolutely amazing job for us over the years and I’m excited to see what her senior season has in store for her and her teammates.”
Shirley finished the match with 38 assists and six digs. Sophomore outside hitter Millie Grove led the Titans with 17 kills and four digs while junior outside hitter Courtney Pohl had 10 kills and nine digs. Senior middle blockers Carly Carroll (five kills, three blocks) and Allie Burke (four kills, two blocks) combined for nine kills and four blocks.
