Conference Duals- JV

Overall what a great weekend for Pinedale Volleyball, the Varsity and JV teams both came to show the North what Pinedale Volleyball is all about. The JV teams only played to games to 21 no matter the outcome, so we had to come out and play from the start, because to 21 makes for short games.

Cody
We opened up on Friday with Cody.  We knew they would be a tough well coached team, but that didn't intimidate us.  We came out strong and won the first game  21-15.  We then let them back in the 2nd game and played back and forth with them for awhile before losing 18-21.  I was proud of the girls for starting play right for the Varsity to follow.  We only had 28 unforced errors this match which is a huge improvement for us as a team as we are young and learning to be consistent. Shawna Rule has really started to come on as of late and played great again this weekend with 5 Kills and a 50% hitting percentage while chipping in 5 assists from the opposite position. Bailey Lozier also stepped in and served well for us when we needed some key points.

Highlights:
Teerstyn- 6 Kills, 1 Block
Vashti- 5 Kills, 2 Digs
Baylee- 2 Kills, 1 Block
Bekah- 1 Kill

Lander
We played Lander Friday night.  They are a team that we have played a couple of times before at tournaments.  We knew we could beat them and they we just needed to play our game. We won the first game 21-16 and played fairly well.  The second game we gave up too many points and let them get too much confidence. The games were to 21 and done and we ended up losing by 1 point 20-21.  It was a good lesson for the girls to not play down and to keep the level of play high at all times. Tayln Costello is an amazing asset to our team that keeps our team positive while having 19 assists.

Highlights:
Bekah 4 Kills
Shawna 2 Kills
Teerstyn 8 Kills, 1 Block
Vashti 4 Kills, 2.07 passing average, 5 Digs
Baylee 1 Kill, 2.12 passing average
Ali   2.0 passing average

Jackson
We played Jackson on Saturday morning and wanted to come out with revenge. We had played them earlier in the season and lost.  We came out strong and played great.  We won the first game 21-18 and finished out the second game 21-17.  I'm so proud of the girls for going for the kill and winning both games! Shay and Bailey both came in the game and did a great job not letting Jackson back in it. Ali Wadsworth & Eliza Nelson both passed amazing with a 2.8 average each!  That is almost a perfect pass everytime.

Highlights:
Shawna- 3 Kills
Baylee- 3 Kills
Vashti- 4 Kills
Teerstyn- 5 Kills
Tayln- 12 assists, 4 Digs

Powell
We rounded out the tournament with Powell.  We didn't know much about this team but knew we just needed to come play our game to win.  That is just what we did, we won the first game 21-8 and the second 21-16. Shay and Bailey came in and played a lot this game and did great!  I was very impressed with their composure and ability to keep it going. Good job girls! We had 9 aces this game which helped us come out with a victory.

Highlights:
Baylee- 3 Aces, 1 Block
Vashti- 4 Aces, 5 Kills
Bekah- 4 Kills
Tayln- 3 Kills
Teerstyn- 6 Kills, 1 Block
