Thursday October 26th the Lady Aces traveled to McLeansboro to face number one seed Fairfield. The team was excited for the match, but we came out a little tight. Fairfield has a very aggressive serve game. This kept us out of system, leading to us giving Fairfield too many free balls. This gave them frequent opportunities to run a quick and strong offense. The Lady Mules played solid making few errors. They are ranked 8th team in the state right now and it showed. Fairfield took the regional title with set scores of 14-25, 13-25. For stats the libero Grace Thacker with 7 digs, Kathryn Blake 4 kills, 7 digs, Sarah McCorkle 11 assists, 4 digs, 1 ace. Piper Belt 3 kills, 4 digs, Madison Stevens, 3 kills, 1 block, Maycee Randall 2 kills, 1 block, 1 dig, Nora Jones 5 digs.
The Lady Aces ended their season 21-12.
They had a great season, accomplishing a back to back conference champions title. Our coaching staff really enjoy these girls this season. They worked hard and played hard. We had a great bunch of 6 seniors who will be missed.
