Our LadyJacks traveled to take on 4-0 BSC for the 1st competition of the year. We dropped the match in three straight sets, but the final outcome does not reflect our overall play.18-25, 17-25, and 28-30 were the finals scores as our LadyJacks competed until the end during each set. Looking at it from a coaching perspective we actually let BSC off the hook in the 1st and 3rd sets as we held the lead majority of play. Make no mistake about it, BSC is a talented team with a deep bench but have to feel good with the way we played on the road out of the gates.
Jordyn Sondrol lead the offensive attack with 7 kills while receiving support from Jackie Miller, and Courtney Hart. Freshman setter Ashleigh Aufforth began her college career with 21 assists tonight, and we believe her play will continue to improve. Defensively the team did a tremendous job from top to bottom as the strongest point of our game was digging, and passing.
Tomorrow we will get back in the gym to make corrections and begin preparation for our 1st home match on September 5th. Our main goal is to get better everyday and the DCB volleyball team accomplished that mission tonight.
