Lady Aces Win Nailbiter At Casey

The Mt. Carmel Lady Aces Volleyball team traveled to Casey Westfield Thursday night for more conference play. 

The Varsity match was very close, point for point play. Casey ran a quick offense and played good defense, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Aces. Madison Stevens had a big night with another double, double, 23 digs and 11 kills. Maycee Randall was a dominating force with her net play. Sarah McCorkle was doing a great job connecting with her attackers on many quick attacks.  The Aces won the first set 28-26, but the second set with only 4 left to score our senior setter Sarah McCorkle went down with a possible ankle injury.  This had the team rattled and Casey came back to win the set 26-28. 

The girls banded together with extreme focus trying to grunt out the last set. Mattie Armstrong stepped in to set. The team started with strong momentum, and took the set in convincing style 25-10 to win the match.

The JV match was back and forth errors on both side of the net.  The Aces took the first set 25-23, but fell the second 19-25. 

They won the third set quickly by cleaning up their play and talking more. 

Mattie Armstrong 3 digs, 6 assists, 5 kills, Kinley Harris 3 aces, 5 digs, 1 kill, 5 assist, Leah Lewis 9 digs, Gracee Haggard 2 digs, Avery Coston 1 dig, 2 block kills, 4 kill, Zoie Randall 1 kill, Alivia Peach 3 aces, 14 digs, Mylee 9 digs, Mercedes Dillard 8 digs, 1 kill, Journey Loudermilk 2 digs, 2 kills, Kate Andrews 1 dig.

WVC ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER EXPECTED TO OPEN SUMMER 2025

Wabash Valley College is thrilled to announce the upcoming addition of the Athletic Training Center, highly anticipated athletic training facility set to open in the summer of 2025. This 8,500-square-foot building will provide a brand-new space for our Warrior athletes to train and prepare for their seasons.

Athletic Training Center will feature three locker rooms, specifically designed to be the new home for our Women’s Soccer, Softball, and Baseball teams. These locker rooms will offer plenty of space for the teams to gear up, relax, and bond.

One of the most exciting features of the building is the large, netted practice area. This space, with its synthetic turf flooring, will be flexible and adaptable to the needs of different sports. The area can be divided into four separate batting or pitching cages, or it can be opened up to create a larger space for a wide range of drills and conditioning exercises.

This facility will be a game-changer for our athletic programs, providing much-needed training space for our Warrior athletes. We're looking forward to seeing it all come together and can't wait for its completion in Summer 2025!

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to opening The Athletic Training Center!

A special presentation was made to Sarah McCorkle for surpassing her 1,000 career assist. Starting with her sophomore year she had  314, 503 junior, 201 senior and  currently at 1,018

She joins the 1,000 assist club with my niece Kassidy Drone who graduated in 2020 with 1,494 assists. 

The JV team started out with too many attacking errors, but were able to seal the first set 25-17 with aggressive serving. The second set we dropped 18-25 with multiple attacks out the back and in the net. The 3rd set the ladies won 15-7. Cleaning up  their high error rate made all the difference.
