Sultan comes to Archbishop Murphy

Thursday night saw the Turks of Sultan come to Archbishop Murphy.

I could sense some good energy by the JVC team when I arrived and felt they were in for a big night and I was right.

Madeline led off the 1st game going for 10pts on her serve, coupled with some good defense to keep the drive alive.  They kept the big Mo going in won the 1st Set going away.

The 2nd Set found them still in a groove.  Sultan put in a late charge, but they couldn't topple our kids and Jillian served an Ace to win the 2nd Set.

The 3rd set, saw the same drive and power as the sets 1 and 2 and in the end, the game away with a 3 Set Match Sweep.

These young women, have been road warriors, playing anyone, anytime, anywhere.  The Wins on the scoresheet have not shown up, but the determination and drive to get better, shows me the true winning spirit they have inside of them.  GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!!!

The JV had alittle trick up their sleeve that they were going to pull last night, which they had been working on in practice- Allow Rachael to set in one spot and have Abby hit.  Worked like a champ and they cruised to the 1st Set Victory.

Set #2, saw them cruising and trying some new things.  Sultan put a run in the end of the game, but it wasn't enough and we won Set 2.

Set 3 was a mirror of Set 2 and in the end they JV Girls pulled away with a 3-0 Set Sweep and Match Win.

The Varsity took the floor determined to take care of business.  It took alittle motivating and they pulled out the 1st Set 25-15. 

As I talked to them between Set 1 and 2, I reminded them of all the hardwork and effort they put forward in practice and to use that as motivation to go out and play hard.  They responded and took Set 2- 25-8.

The 3rd Set was back and forth through the 1st half of it and Sultan was starting to do some good things.  We turned up the defense and in the end pulled away 25-19 to take Set 3 and the Match.

We look to Saturday and traveling to Monore for the Bearcat Invitational.  The last Tournament of the Season.

Hope to see you all in the Gym......
