Wisner-Pilger opens up season with win over Schuyler

The Wisner-Pilger Volleyball Team kicked off the 2018 season with a 3-0 win at Schuyler Thursday night.

The Gators took set one 25-14, set two 25-11, and set three 25-8.

Jordan Wegner led the way with 17 kills and 9 digs while Aspin Waterman, Reagan Scholting, and Adi Meyer had 12, 11, and 7 digs, respectively. Emily Hatterman added 24 set assists.

Great win for Wisner-Pilger. The Gators dominated each set and had multiple girls contribute.

Wisner-Pilger (1-0) takes part in the Northeast Nebraska Volleyball Classic at home on Thursday.

I feel this tournament will be a great opportunity for the Gators to showcase their abilities and prove that they are one of the teams to beat in the area this year.

In my opinion, having already played a match will be an advantage for Wisner-Pilger compared to one team they play, Tekamah-Herman.

I look for this experienced and very talented Gators squad to have a great showing in this tournament.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wisner-Pilger competed for the title and even won it.

There's a lot of work to be done for that to happen, but I feel the opportunity is there for the Gators.

Wisner-Pilger just has to seize the moment and everything they've ever wanted on Thursday.

The Gators have to come out determined and motivated, and must play smart, but aggressive Volleyball.

Having good judgement if balls are in or out, communicating, passing, hitting, blocking, digging, serving, and serve receiving well are all important for Wisner-Pilger, in my opinion.

The Gators have to defend their home court and have a strong showing.

This is Wisner-Pilger's chance to display their talent and show that they are one of the top teams in the area.

The Gators have arguably one of the best players in the area and maybe more in Wegner, and I look for her to have big matches for Wisner-Pilger on Thursday.

The Gators have to ride her hot hand and let her take them to the promised land.

Wisner-Pilger also needs her, Scholting, Waterman, and Meyer to play strong defense as well like they did against the Warriors.

I feel this Gators' team is multi-dimensional in that they are solid on both offense and defense.

Wisner-Pilger just needs consistency and good play to shine for them Thursday night, and if they can get strong play from everyone again they should be in good shape, and have a good chance to win both matches I would think.

The tournament is out there for the Gators' taking they just have to go out there and nab it if that makes any sense.
