The GACC Volleyball Team dropped a pair of home matches this week, falling 3-0 at home to Bishop Neumann Tuesday night, and 3-0 at home to Hartington Cedar Catholic Thursday night.
The Cavaliers took all three sets from the Bluejays 25-13.
Hanna Knobbe had 22 digs while Reece Snodgrass and Sophia Hass totaled 17 and 16, respectively.
The Trojans won set one 25-17, set two 25-16, and set three 25-23.
Erica Engelmeyer had 10 blocks while Evelyn Wooldrik and Brooklyn Bailey notched 9 and 7, respectively. Haas and Snodgrass each had 13 digs while Knobbe tallied 12. Meghan Brunsing registered 10 set assists.
GACC simply ran into two juggernauts last week.
The Bluejays (7-7) host Battle Creek (15-6) Tuesday night.
The Braves beat Elgin Public/Pope John 2-1 and Boone Central/Newman Grove 2-0 at the Elgin Public/Pope John Triangular Thursday night.
Battle Creek has lost to both the Cavaliers and Trojans twice, taking a set at Hartington Cedar Catholic on Tuesday.
The Braves will definitely be a challenge for the Bluejays that's for sure.
Battle Creek has played a tough schedule and beaten some good teams.
Rachel Schlote and Madaline Taake are players to watch out for for the Braves as they led Battle Creek in kills against the Wolfpack and Cardinals, respectively.
GACC has to come out and play hard and play well.
The Bluejays have to step up their game and perform at a higher level than they have all season.
I thought GACC did a nice job playing well in the last set against Cedar Catholic, and that has to continue and carry over into Tuesday night.
Battle Creek is definitely beatable, the Bluejays just have to go out there and play well.
GACC needs better offensive production than they got last week though.
Players need to step up and put good swings on the ball and record points via the kill.
The Bluejays are a good team with a lot of potential, but I feel this team's talent is sort of raw right now.
GACC is young and still developing, but needs to take some steps forward Tuesday night if they can.
The Bluejays have Wisner-Pilger and Lutheran High Northeast at the LHNE Triangular Thursday night so two more challenging matches there GACC will need to be ready for.
The Bluejays really don't have it easy the rest of the way, and I'm sure that's how GACC would prefer to have and likes it.
When the going gets tough teams like the Bluejays generally get going, and I look for GACC to do that starting next week.
I feel next week will go better than this past week did for the Bluejays.
