Spikers started their season last Saturday in the West Bloomfield Invitational tournament.
‘I was happy with the way we played,? said Varsity Volleyball Coach Kelly Avenall.
‘We traditionally don’t play the first weekend of performance. I scheduled this tournament because I felt like we needed some competition under our belt before we started our league play.?
The girls ended the tournament with a record, 3-1.
They won their pool play matches against North Farmington (25-11, 25-17), Walled Lake Western (25-20, 25-18) and Davison (25-7, 25-13).
They came out of their pool play and lost to Walled Lake Northern (25-23, 24-26, 4-15).
‘It could’ve gone either way,? said Avenall. ‘That third game score wasn’t indicative to the way we played. I was happy overall. We are way above where we were last year at this time.?
The girls played Oxford on Tuesday and Avenall knew Oxford usually begins their season with a tournament.
Avenall thought it would help.
‘We could get some competition and get the jitters out,? she said.
Standouts during the tournament were sophomore Allison Reis, senior Lauren Gardner and junior Jenna Coates.
Reis had 27 kills and Gardner had 25 kills.
Coates had 70 digs and Reis had 35 digs.
