The Scribner-Snyder Volleyball team is 4-3 in their last 7 matches, losing 3-0 at BRLD last Tuesday night, 3-1 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family last Thursday night, and 2-0 to Ponca at the Scribner-Snyder Invite on Saturday, but beating Winnebago and St. Edward 2-0 on Saturday, Pender 3-0 at home Monday night, and Winside 3-2 at home Tuesday night.
The Wolverines won set one 25-12, set two 25-21, and set three 25-11.
Kaylee Boyle paced the Trojans with 20 digs while Kaylin Niewohner totaled 16. Rachel Lodl and Emily Lewin notched 10 and 8, respectively.
During warmups, Nicole Boyle, one of the starters for Scribner Snyder, turned an ankle. Head Coach Shelly Schulenberg says that left the team thin. "She rolled it during warmup. So we were without her the whole game. So that threw my first set lineup way out of alignment. My lineup was already in. So we had to make some adjustments with one of our subs. And that's how it goes sometimes. We were already without one starter tonight, and then we lost Nikki before the game even started. So our wind was kind of sunk before we even started."
I would say that injury set the tone for the rest of the night for the Trojans.
Scribner-Snyder took set one from the Bulldogs, 25-20, before losing set two 25-9, set three 25-10, and set four 25-23.

The Trojans have played very respectable Volleyball as of late. I've been very impressed with Scribner-Snyder's play.
The Trojans (8-6) travel to Mead (14-3) to take on the Raiders next Thursday night.
Mead beat Elmwood-Murdock 3-1 at home Thursday night.
The Raiders are a very good team, and have lost to some very solid teams so far this season.
One of those losses came against Clarkson/Leigh, who swept the Trojans 3-0 in Scribner on September 12th.
Perhaps Scribner-Snyder can take a page out of the Patriots' book when it comes to game planning and preparing for Mead.
The Trojans will have ample practice time as it's their only match of the week so Scribner-Snyder should be well rested and ready to go.
The Trojans have to sit back, relax, and enjoy their time off, but be ready to go when it's time.
I think Scribner-Snyder would just assume keep playing a bunch of matches together given how much they played in two weeks, but at the same time, I think having some time off is a good thing in terms of resting and nursing any nagging injuries that might be affecting this team.
I'm willing to bet Nicole Boyle's ankle will feel a whole lot better in a week than it does now.
That was an unfortunate injury. You see how valuable she is to the Trojans.
Scribner-Snyder is having a very respectable season, and the five set win over Winside was great. It appears the Trojans gutted things out and simply found a way to win.
Scribner-Snyder has to take some time and enjoy that win, but be ready to go and be focused during the next week of practice.
The Trojans have to come up with a good game plan for next Thursday night's match.
Slowing down the likes of June Johnson, Jayden Haag, and McKenna Holloway will be critical, in my opinion.
Johnson had 23 kills in Mead's win over Yutan Tuesday night.
She has to be contained for Scribner-Snyder to have any chance of winning, in my opinion.
