GACC loses at Battle Creek; splits home Triangular














The GACC Volleyball team lost 3-0 at Battle Creek Tuesday night, but rebounded to beat Lutheran High Northeast 2-0 at their home Triangular Thursday night, but also lost to Wisner-Pilger 2-0 Thursday night.

The Bluejays lost 25-10 in set one, 25-8 in set two, and 25-12 in set three to the Braves.

Kali Stratman had 8 set assists.

GACC lost 25-19 in set one, and 25-20 in set two to the Gators.

Stratman notched 15 set assists.

The Bluejays topped the Eagles 25-20 in the first set, and 25-21 in the second set.

Bobbie Ortmeier had 7 kills while Stratman registered 17 set assists.

I think GACC has to be encouraged by the win over LHNE. I think it's something the Bluejays can work on, and could perhaps be season changing for GACC.

GACC (6-11) hosts Pierce (12-10) Tuesday night.

Pierce won 3-1 at home over O'Neill Thursday night.

Pierce is having a nice season, and has only lost to quality teams.

Pierce lost 3-0 to LHNE though so GACC has to see that and truly believe that they can win.

I think GACC has a chance to get their season back on track Tuesday night.

It's that time of year when GACC is normally on top of their game, and I look for GACC to play a good match.

It's time for GACC to make a run. They have some very winnable matches coming up prior to the Mid-State Conference Tournament, in my opinion.

With Clarkson/Leigh not playing as well right now as they once were, perhaps there is a chance for GACC to get out of that subdistrict and make state.

GACC has a lot of work to do if they want to get to the state tournament, but if GACC can get on a run here at the end of the regular season and get hot by the time subdistricts roll around, they could very well find themselves down at Lincoln again.

It all starts with the Pierce match on Tuesday though. GACC has to play the way they did against Lutheran High Northeast.

How GACC played against the Eagles is how they need to play all the time.

GACC now knows what it's going to take to get the job done. There's only one gear for excellence, and perhaps GACC figured it out against LHNE

We'll see how much the win over the Eagles mattered when GACC takes to the court on Tuesday.

Of course GACC's last match was against the Gators, but how GACC played against LHNE has to give GACC hope and promise.

Now it's a matter of going out there and building on what was done Thursday night. Pierce figures to be a tough challenge for GACC though, that's for sure.
