Lady Wolves on a winning streak

The Moorcroft Lady Wolves volleyball team is on a run, winning the last six games in a row.

Over the weekend, the Wolves were on the road again. At Tongue River, they had a close match up and won in five close sets to TR, (21-25, 21-25, 25-19, 26-24, 15-8).

I am very proud of this team for battling back after being behind the first two sets. We reset halfway through the match and played together as a team to win the last three sets and finishing strong in the fifth set.

Talissa Fischbach had six aces against Tongue River; Char Cranston had 22 digs and ten kills; Lizzie Peterson had nine kills; April Miller earned eight kills; Kailee Gill had 24 assists; Teagan Timberman had 16 assists; and Kaylee Terry had three blocks.

Both JV1 and JV2 teams also won their matches against TR. The next day we were on the road again to Glenock, winning the match with a clean sweep in three sets. The scores were (25-20, 25-19, 25-18).

Both JV1 and JV2 teams also won their matches against Glenrock in two sets. Kailee Gill had four aces in the match; Char Cranston had ten kills; Alyssa Merchen had five; and Lizzie Peterson had four blocks.

I am very proud of both JV teams and our Varsity team for working hard, daily, in practice and competing when it is game time. We are making big strides this season. We are working together as a team to meet our team goals and I am excited to see what the future has for this team.

We continue to work hard this week with our future match ups against Upton and our Homecoming match against Lusk on Friday, October 11.
