The Howells-Dodge Volleyball Team split the Pender Triangular to end the regular season Tuesday night, downing the host Pendragons 2-0, but losing 2-0 to West Point-Beemer.
The Cadets took set one 25-13, and set two 25-22.
Erin Prusa totaled 7 kills while Macey Kulhanek added 9 digs. Tonya Brester and Taya VanLengen chipped in 7 digs apiece while Alyssa Coufal tallied 16 set assists.
The Jaguars defeated Pender 25-17 in the 1st set, and 25-18 in the 2nd set.
VanLengen put down 8 kills and 9 digs while Jessi Brester added 7 kills. Tonya Brester and Kulhanek registered 8 digs apiece while Coufal dished out 25 set assists.
Decent way for Howells-Dodge to end the regular season I would say.
The Jaguars (15-15) take on Lutheran High Northeast (17-14) in the C2-4 Sub-District Play-In Match at Norfolk Catholic Monday evening.
The Eagles went 3-1 at their own Tournament on Saturday.
LHNE topped Howells-Dodge 3-0 at home on September 19th.
The Jaguars need to get back to playing the way they were at the beginning of the season to have a shot in this match.
Howells-Dodge started so well, but hasn't played as well as they were early on I would say.
The Jaguars have been up and down this year, and just haven't had any consistency in their play.
This is a tough Sub-District though, and Howells-Dodge plays a tough schedule, which should help them be ready for this match.
The winner gets defending State Champion Stanton, and beating the Mustangs may seem like next to impossible, but anything can happen.
The Jaguars have to believe they're as good as anyone in this Sub-District, and can't back down from anyone.
All teams in this Sub-District are good, and Howells-Dodge has to have the desire and will to compete hard, and must fear no one.
The Jaguars may be young, but Howells-Dodge has had an entire season to grow and mature, and should now be ready.
There's no doubt Howells-Dodge has a chance to beat the Eagles, and advance to take on the Mustangs.
Anything can happen in the postseason, and the Jaguars have to believe in themselves and trust one another.
Howells-Dodge has to expect to win and get the job done.
It's a mentality and attitude that all winning teams have, and it's something the Jaguars must possess.
First serve is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
