Lady Tiger Volleyball Season Finish
The Lady Tigers finished their volleyball season last week playing Osceola in the semi-finals of District 13. Starting off the night slow, Lady Tigers lost the first two sets 15-25, 23-25 before fighting back to win the next two sets 25-17, 25-23. The Osceola offense outlasted the Tiger's scrappy defense to win the fifth and deciding set 15-10.
Dominating offensively, Nevaeh Washington played a precise match hitting .317 on the night and finishing with 23 kills. Adding to the offense were: Kayley Goodman, 9 kills; Sydney Gordan, 7 kills; and Emery Cannon, 6 kills. Matti Mergen dished out 21 assists on the night and Gordon had 18 as they setup the offense. Mergen also served for 3 aces in the 5-set match.
Washington led the Lady Tigers defensively as well as she scrambled on backrow getting 29 digs. And it was quite a night on defense as 6 players finished with double-digit digs: Sydney Gordon, 25 digs; Matti Mergen, 25 digs; Santana Rivas, 24 digs; Kayley Goodman, 21 digs; and Emery Cannon, 19 digs.
Lady Tigers finished the season with a 17-14-2 record overall and 7-3 in the Kaysinger Conference with a 4th place finish in the Kaysinger. Eight of the losses were to five teams that went on to win district titles - a tough schedule for sure and Lady Tigers held their own!
