Hass posted 7 kills and 12 digs while Knobbe and Bailey had 24 and 19 digs, respectively. Snodgrass compiled 12 digs and 12 set assists.
Somewhat of a slow start to the season for the Bluejays. GACC has looked good at times and during certain sets of matches like the middle sets of the Wayne and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family matches, but with like most young teams is lacking consistency so far.
The Bluejays (3-3) take on Boone Central/Newman Grove (0-1) on the road Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Cardinals were swept 3-0 at O'Neill Thursday night.
This figures to be a pretty good and intriguing match.
It honestly would not surprise me if things went the distance so don't be shocked if this match goes five sets.
I look for GACC to find a way to pull things out and win, but the Bluejays have to figure out a way to become consistent.
Hass has been a great contributor for GACC as has Snodgrass and others.
The Bluejays are young, but talented, and it's a process of continuing to mold talent and experience together.
You always worry about Boone Central/Newman Grove being the fresher team with more time off, but GACC is the team that is more in game shape and should be ready to go.
I know the Bluejays have played a lot of matches thus far, but GACC has to get geared up for this one and give it all they got.
The Bluejays can rest after Thursday night so GACC has to go out there and give an all out effort.
I look for the Bluejays to pick up another W against the Cardinals.
It's important for GACC to start off strong and jump on Boone Central/Newman Grove early though.
The Bluejays have to take advantage of the Cardinals' lack of matches played and take advantage of a slow start from BC/NG should the Cardinals get off to one.
GACC has to come out with all pistons firing and must take it to BC/NG for the entire length of the match.
The Bluejays have to keep growing and improving with every point and set, and must be relentless with their attacking and blocking.
GACC has to win battles at the net, and dive after loose balls on the floor and have good judgement as to if balls are out or in.
First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on the Bull.
