Focusing on the Positive!

First of all, look at how ADORABLE Natalie is! How could you not smile at that? She is sooo cute in that new jersey! It is funny that our uniform fits a 2-year old though! = )

Next, let me say that the first game was the best Junior Varsity competition I have seen in a long time. I was so proud of our girls; it is the best I had seen them play (so far!). Lauren led the defensive effort with 20 digs! Kacie was next with 11. Elaine really had a great night with 9 digs, 8 assists and 3 kills! WOW! Jillian had some powerful swings that turned into 11 kills! Kacie & Chelsea added 4 kills each. Nice match girls!!!

The Varsity match spotlighted Coop, who played with so much poise under pressure. We threw her into a new position (again!) and she shined. She led us in both serve receive (most good serve receptions-14) and she had the best defensive passing accuracy (82%). Coop had the 2nd most digs (9) even with only playing in 2 games! Our team was consistent in serving, serve receive, and hitting accuracy. Kara went 12-for-12 in hitting with 2 kills. Janelle was 26-for-29 with 10 kills. The best kill% tonight though went to Cole who had 7 kills in 17 attacks (29% kills). Emma added 19 assists.
The Crusaders hit the court again Saturday at the Country Day Tournament.
