Though it has won plenty this fall, the Liverpool girls volleyball team demonstrated something beyond mere talent in Wednesday night’s match at West Genesee.
Twice, the Warriors trailed the Wildcats. Twice, it came back, seemingly gaining strength until it had registered a five-game victory over the Wildcats to improve to 10-4 on the season.
Even when WG won the opening game 25-16 and threatened to win the second game, the Warriors did not panic. Instead, it claimed the necessary points to win that game 25-23 and pull back even.
When the Wildcats got a 25-18 win in the third game, it looked to be in charge again. Once more, though, Liverpool would respond, not only by winning the fourth game 25-16, but looking just as good in the decisive fifth game to take the match by that same 25-16 margin.
Jenna Street blended in 19 assists, seven kills and three blocks before it was done. Often, Street’s passes went to Dorothy Rosekrans, who had 16 kills, four aces and three digs.
Helping out, Brooke Holland had 10 digs, while Anna Daucher mixed in six kills and six digs. Cassi McCrum had five kills and three aces, while Katie Rowell got five assists, two aces and two kills. WG, in defeat, saw Megan Derks pick up 34 assists, 16 digs, five aces and two kills.
Cicero-North Syracuse also won on Wednesday night, sweeping Henninger 25-11, 25-9, 25-19 to improve its mark to 11-2. Kristina Kullman and Jenna Tartaro each had nine aces to get the Northstars rolling along. Andrea Goettel added six assists and Lindsey Silfer got three kills, three assists and two aces.
