The Scribner-Snyder Volleyball Team is 3-5 in the last two weeks, losing 2-0 to Tekamah-Herman and beating Oakland-Craig 2-1 in the East Husker Conference Tournament last Thursday night, beating Pender and falling to BRLD 2-0 at the Tournament at Logan View on Saturday, losing 2-0 to Tekamah-Herman and Fremont Bergan at the Bergan Triangular Tuesday night, and falling 2-1 to Wisner-Pilger, but beating Logan View 2-0 at their home Triangular Pink Out Event Thursday night.
In the first meeting, Tekamah-Herman won set one 25-9 and set two 25-14.
Nicole Boyle paced the Trojans with 5 kills.
The Trojans won set one over Oakland-Craig 25-9, and set three 25-23 after losing set two 25-20.
Kaylee Boyle had a match-high 15 kills and totaled 13 digs for Scribner-Snyder while Faith Riggle registered 5. Nicole Boyle tallied 18 digs and 23 set assists while Emily Lewin notched 12 digs.
Head Coach Shelly Schulenberg wasn't pleased with her team's start. "When we started against Tekamah I wasn't happy with how we played. We're a better team than that. We just didn't have the energy level that we needed to compete against a team that's better. And so when we don't pass we can't run our offense. So we've kind of struggled with that over the last couple games with our passing. And can't get hits if we don't get good passes."
Schulenberg's team had only three service errors all night, something to build on. "We played Winside a couple weeks ago, and we had 15 in the match just against them. And we had to nip that in the butt at practice. And so they've done a good job of really focusing on their serves. So that's definitely a plus for us."
The Wolverines beat the Trojans 25-13 in sets one and two.
Kaylin Niewohner had 10 digs while Kaylee Boyle registered 8.
Scribner-Snyder downed Pender 25-18 in the first set, and 25-14 in the second set.
Kaylee Boyle posted 10 kills and 9 digs while Nicole Boyle had 7 blocks, 14 digs, and 9 set assists. Lewin and Elissa Dames notched 7 digs apiece.
Bergan downed the Trojans 25-17 in set one, and 25-14 in set two.
Kaylee Boyle led the way with 8 kills.
In the second match against the Tigers, Tekamah-Herman won the opening set 25-23, and the second set 25-15.
Kaylee Boyle posted 7 kills and 15 digs while Lewin had 13 digs. Sidney Fletcher and Niewohner registered 9 and 7, respectively.
The Gators won set one 25-16, and took set three 25-13 after losing set two 25-22.
Kaylee Boyle had 13 kills and 7 digs for the Trojans. Nicole Boyle registered 17 digs while Lewin totaled 7.
The Trojans claimed the first set against the Raiders 25-17, and the second set 25-20.
Kaylee Boyle put down 8 kills.
Schulenberg says it was an off night for service errors. "When I talked to you the last time I had said our serving had improved, and we really had, but tonight I don't know, we just got into a little funk. I'm not sure what Em struggled a little from back behind the line. Overall I told the girls I gave them an A+ for that game. We took a set from them, we made them work hard, we made them call timeouts. So that was our goal for the night was to just play hard."
Schulenberg is retiring as coach of the Scribner Snyder girls after 20 years......She has one more triangular Tuesday. "Coached a lot of great girls so Tuesday night will be a hard night for us emotionally, at least for me anyway. Last time on the court ever for the Trojans, so it will be a little tough for us, but I'm hoping that they'll pull through and come back with a couple wins."
Scribner-Snyder (11-14) hosts Weeping Water (7-16) and Omaha Christian Academy (14-10) in the Triangular.
The Indians beat Conestoga and Johnson County Central 2-0 at the ECNC Tournament last Thursday night.
The Eagles swept Cornerstone Christian 2-0 at the Nebraska Frontier Conference Tournament on Thursday.
Both teams should present challenges, but what a huge deal it would be for the Trojans to sweep the Triangular given it's their last ever home matches as the Scribner-Snyder Trojans.
In case you hadn't heard, Scribner-Snyder and Logan View will be combining in all sports starting next school year.
So this is it at home for the Trojans, and they have to make the most of this opportunity.
I think there will be extra incentive for Scribner-Snyder to do well and sweep the Triangular.
I think it would be fitting for the Trojans to sweep this Triangular and end the Scribner-Snyder Trojans' existence on top at home.
I feel anything less than a Triangular sweep would be disappointing and disheartening for Scribner-Snyder.
The schedule the Trojans play should really help them in these matches.
I look for Scribner-Snyder to play well and turn in a really good performance Tuesday night.
This is it for the Scribner-Snyder Trojans at home. The last time this team and program will ever play a game on its home floor.
The Trojans have to go out in fitting and unique fashion, which is by winning their last two home contests.
This figures to be a very emotional night for these players, the coaches, and fans, and I can't begin to imagine the emotions that will be running through everyone's bodies at this Triangular.
It should be a memorable night, that's for sure, and hopefully the Scribner-Snyder Trojans can say they are winners of their last ever home contest or contests.
