Norwich edges rival Yellowjackets
ONEONTA – The Norwich varsity volleyball team would see some stiff competition from the Yellowjackets of Oneonta, when they traveled there to eventually play a five set game ending in a 3-2 Norwich victory on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
“The girls fought a tough match. Had the crowd on the edge of their seats,” said Norwich head coach Shelly Alger.
The Tornado would jump out to an early 2-0 lead over the Yellowjackets winning their first two sets at 25-20, and a close 25-23.
The Yellowjackets wouldn’t surrender the loss that easily as they would battle back for a 2-2 tie late in the game, effectively beating Norwich in the third and fourth sets at a dominating 15-25, and 20-25.
“Our girls played very good defensively. We had long volleys and it was a night of who made the first mistake,” said coach Alger.
Despite any mistakes on either side, it was Norwich who would stay composed in a tight matchup, when they rallied together for a 25-20 match-winning fifth set.
In the win, Norwich would see Leahanne Humphrey gain eight assists, with Riley Strong having seven. Jazmin Rodriguez and Kalie Binelli would each see two aces in the contest. Meghan Komendarek would lead the kills category for Norwich with her 11, followed by seven from Kara Evans, and four from Kalie Binelli. Komendarek would lead the blocks category as well with six, followed once again by Kara Evans with one and Alexis Taylor with one. Layla Burton would have a day recording digs for Norwich on the defensive end, as Burton would earn 12 in the match, followed by Rodriguez with seven, and Binelli with four.
Norwich (2-1) will next play next at Norwich when they host Chenango Forks on Thursday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m.
Notably for Norwich, their junior varsity squad tacked on a solid 2-0 win over the Yellowjackets to complete the sweep and will now play next at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, at home.
