Wisner-Pilger sweeps GACC Triangular

The Wisner-Pilger Volleyball Team swept the GACC Triangular Thursday night, downing the host Bluejays 2-0 and Lutheran High Northeast 2-1.

The Gators topped the Bluejays 25-19 in set one, and 25-20 in set two.

Jordan Wegner had 10 kills and 7 digs while Ariel Meyer totaled 8 digs. Lauren Jacobsen added 17 set assists.

The Eagles won the first set 25-21 before Wisner-Pilger claimed the second set 25-23, and the third set 25-22.

Wegner notched 12 kills and 10 digs while Maci Batenhorst registered 11 kills. Jacobsen added 9 kills, 10 digs, and 20 set assists while Meyer notched 17 blocks, 17 digs, and 10 set assists.

This was a big Triangular win for the Gators. Wisner-Pilger turned in two very good performances.

The Gators (13-6) take part in the Wisner-Pilger Invite on Saturday.

Up first for Wisner-Pilger is Allen (9-11).

The Eagles lost 3-0 at home to Hartington-Newcastle Thursday night.

This should be a win for the Gators.

Wisner-Pilger is peaking at the right time as they've won 6 out of their last 7. I really look for the Gators to do well in this tournament.

Wisner-Pilger has this match and a difficult match with Tekamah-Herrman on Tuesday prior to the East Husker Conference Tournament.

If anything, these matches before the Conference Tournament will help prepare the Gators for what they're going to see there.

I think Wisner-Pilger could be a sleeper and a darkhorse in the conference tournament, and could make some noise.

It wouldn't shock me to see the Gators pull off a big upset in the Conference Tournament.

First things first though, Wisner-Pilger has to worry about Saturday.

West Point-Beemer and O'Neill are also in this tournament, and figure to be tough teams.

The Gators have to play the way they have been lately, and if they do that, they should be just fine.

Wisner-Pilger is peaking at the right time, and it's so good to see the Gators playing their best Volleyball towards the end of the season.

There's still work left to be done, and Wisner-Pilger still has things to accomplish before season's end, but the Gators have to be happy with where they are at right now.

If anything Wisner-Pilger is probably pretty excited and revved up for this tournament and all their other matches down the line.

The success the Gators have had lately should give them a jolt of confidence and momentum that lasts a while I would say.
