Lady Eagles' Volleyball starts their new season!

The Lady Eagles started the season with a disappointing loss to Northwest Christian in their season opener on September 8. The scores were 17-25, 19-25,25-14, 25-23, and 12-15. The Eagles started out slowly against NWC and couldn’t get in stride until the third set of the match. They lost the first two sets and then came back to win the next two. The fifth and final set, they found themselves behind, 7-12. They battled back but lost 12-15. There were some crowd-thrilling, amazing plays during the match. The highlight was when a defensive dig on our side went to the back wall. Grace Stillar got the ball up, and Savannah Rolston passed a ball over 50 feet to score a point. The Eagles were led by Leslie Stillar with 11 kills and Pam Seitz with 10. Lauryn Bassen had 32 assists for the Eagles, and Alex Daggy had 4 blocks.

Wednesday, September 9, was a different story for the Eagles. The Eagles hosted Medical Lake on Lakeside’s home court. They started out strong and never looked back. The Eagles swept the Cardinals in three sets, 25-10, 25-10, 25-23. Leslie Stillar racked up 15 kills and 3 aces. Grace Stillar also scored 3 aces.

The members of the 2009 volleyball team are Leslie Stillar and Lauryn Bassen,(captains) Alex Daggy, Pam Seitz, Katie Whiteside, Amy Juran, Ashley Durrance, Chelsey Johnson, Grace Stillar, Lexie Zappone, Savannah Rolston, and Kayley Watkins. We are looking forward to a great 2009 season.
