The Mt. Carmel Lady Aces Volleyball team traveled to Robinson for another conference matchup. The Aces were excited and looking for a win after beating beaten by Robinson the last 3 years.
The Aces started strong spreading kills out between 5 attackers and playing gritty defense. They commanded the first set, and Robinson only crept in a bit closer at the end. Aces won the set 25-17.
The second set was close back and forth play until 21-21, next the Aces got the side out and kept the serve with big kills by Maycee Randall and then an Ace by Sarah McCorkle to win 21-25. Madi Stevens had a big night with a double, double, 20 digs and 12 kills.
This puts the team in good position for another conference title with Newton being the biggest opponent standing in the way. They will face Newton at home on October 8th. A great night to come watch this exciting team. Stats for the night, Sarah McCorkle, 1 ace, 8 digs, 2 kills, 18 assists, Madi Stevens 2 aces, 20 digs, 12 kills, Jayla Johnson 14 digs, 1 kill, Maycee Randall,1 dig, 3 block kills, 6 kills, Kyleigh Smith 2 kills, 1 dig. Lyla Keepes, 7 digs, 3 kills, 2 Assists, Tenley Davis 21 digs, 1 assist.
The JV team had a hard time getting momentum going the first set.
They struggled in serve receive and dropped the set 15-25, the second set they also got behind early with the same struggle, but I was glad to see some fight In the girls, cutting the deficit in half before dropping the second one 20-25. Player stats Mattie Armstrong 12 digs, 2 assists, 2 kills, Kinley Harris 1 ace, 6 digs, 4 assist Leah Lewis 10 digs, 2 kills, Gracee Haggard 3 kills, Avery Coston 1 dig, 1 block, Zoie Randall 1 dig, 3 kills, 1 block, Alivia Peach 2 aces 4 digs, 2 kills, Mylee 1 ace, 8 digs, 1 assist, Mercedes Dillard 1 ace, 1 dig, 1 assist.
For the Fresh/Soph team the aces split with the maroons. Winning the first set 25-16 and losing the second 25-21.
The first set the girls had great defense and played together well, the second set they didn’t play with the same level of ball control.
The Aces travel to Gibson Southern on Monday for Frosh play starting at 5 followed by JV and Varsity. Comments by Assistant Coach Bonnie Keepes
