WAVERLY — After splitting the first two sets, Waverly finished strong
for a 3-1 win over Watkins Glen here Thursday night in IAC Large School
volleyball action.
Waverly coach Charity Meyers said her team didn’t display its usual zeal.
“I felt the girls were a bit too low with the energy tonight.
“I’m
not sure if the sight of snow brought down the mood or what,” said
Meyers. “We definitely need to work on being able to make some changes
and still keep the tempo up.
“Watkins Glen is always fun to play
and they have such a great attitude,” Meyers added. “We can’t wait to
see them again in the fall.”
The Lady Wolverines, now 3-4 with
all three wins coming against Watkins Glen, won the first set 25-17, but
the Lady Senecas answered with a 25-20 win in the second set to even
the match at 1-1. Waverly closed out the match with wins of 25-17 and
25-17.
Junior Aryan Peters had a monster night for Waverly with
19 service points, including seven aces, 16 setter assists, and five
digs, and senior Sidney Tomasso had 16 points, including eight aces,
three kills, one dig, and five digs.
Senior Emilee Little had
eight points (four aces), a team-high nine kills, and three digs in the
win, while senior Caitlyn Bakley had eight points (three aces), three
kills, and three digs, junior Michaela Lauper had seven points (three
aces) and 13 digs, 8th-grader Lillie Kirk registered eight kills and one
block, junior Aubrey Ennis added four kills, and junior Sydney
Nierstedt chipped in with two kills.
Waverly returns to action Thursday at Thomas A. Edison.
