SHERBURNE – The Sherburne-Earlville varsity volleyball team – a team that was making great strides in the 2015-2016 season – has found themselves on the wrong-side of every match thus far, despite some competitive sets.
Most recently, the lady Marauders have fallen to 0-10 for the 2016-2017 season following their two most recent losses.
On Friday, Jan. 6, S-E traveled to face Morrisville-Eaton where they subsequently lost by a score of 3-0. The 3-0 loss was much closer than the final score suggested however, as the lady Marauders were able to bring each set score within a few – each time falling slightly short. During the first set S-E fell by a score of 25-23, followed by a second set loss of 30-28 – as extra points were needed for Morrisville-Eaton to win by two-points, the required amount. Already down 2-0 in sets, a must win third set saw S-E fall victim one more time, as Morrisville-Eaton claimed the 3-0 sweep with a final set of 25-22.
Game Statistics: Sherburne-Earlville: Abbey Stratton - four aces, nine kills, four assists, 11 digs; Cheznie Lounsbury – two aces, eight blocks, 12 kills, three assists, six digs; Sam Johnson – two kills, 14 assists, 11 digs. No game statistics were provided from the home team.
Following the Friday evening loss on the road and weekend to hopefully regroup, it was back to game action come Monday, Jan. 9, as S-E hosted Cooperstown, falling once again into an early deficit which contributed to the loss on Monday evening.
Cooperstown made much shorter work of the struggling S-E ladies, as a 3-0 loss for S-E was again in the cards, but set scores were more lopsided. Cooperstown jumped out to the early 1-0 set lead after crushing Sherburne-Earlville 25-12. This was only the beginning of the loss, despite a brief moment of a close second set score – it was Cooperstown who cruised to two more set wins at 25-11 and 25-9 respectively.
Game Statistics: Sherburne-Earlville: Melanie Sines – two aces, four blocks eight kills, three assists, two digs; Alexa Bates one ace, seven blocks, 11 kills, four assists, four digs; Cheznie Lounsbury three aces, eight blocks, eight kills, four assists, three digs. Cooperstown: Amber Genova - 14 aces, six kills, one assist; Kaitlyn Curtis – five aces, two kills, 11 assists; Natalie Johnson four aces, two kills, one assist; Ginger Miller two aces, seven kills.
Up next for Sherburne-Earlville (0-10 overall) they will travel to Waterville on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 7 p.m.
“We are a young team that works hard, we have great potential but have yet to unleash it fully,” said Ed Holmquist. “I am proud of these girls, and proud to be their coach.”
