Tornado volleyball wins at home over visiting Wildcats

NORWICH – The Norwich varsity volleyball team scratched out a tough win over visiting Johnson City.
Norwich earned the 3-1 win over the Wildcats on Thursday, Sept. 22. The Tornado girls jumped out in fashion, dominating JC in the opening set for the 25-9 win. Up 1-0 over JC, they faced a much tougher outing the second time around, only managing the win at 25-21. With the momentum slowly shifting toward the Wildcats, it was JC who claimed a win in the third set, with 25-18 win, forcing the match to continue.
Facing a potential fifth set, Norwich returned to form for the dominating 25-10 win to close out the match, with a 3-1 victory on the night.
In the win for Norwich, Meghan Komendarek had five aces, 17 kills, and two blocks, Riley Strong had four aces and 10 assists, Leahanne Humphrey had two aces and 13 assists, Jazmin Rodriguez had one ace, three kills, and two digs, followed by Layla Burton with four digs, Kara Evans with five kills, and Kalie Binelli with one ace, three kills, and three digs.
Johnson City would see three standouts in their loss to the Tornado as Alexis Stetts had three kills, followed by Natalie Novak with two aces, eight assists, and two blocks, and Cheyna Canfield with two blocks.
“It was another good win for us. We faltered in one game but came back and played our way of play. Meg Komendarek was lighting up with kills and pushes for points. Kara Evans had some good push points also. We had a total of 28 kills which is improving each week,” said Norwich head coach Shelly Alger.
Notably Norwich's junior varsity squad also claimed the win over Johnson City with a score of 2-1.
Norwich was scheduled to play Windsor on the road on Tuesday, Sept. 27, followed by a home match against Owego on Thursday, Sept. 29, before they traveled to Colgate for a weekend tournament this past weekend. No results or scores have been reported on any of these most recent match-ups.
