Clarkson/Leigh sweeps Pender













The Clarkson/Leigh Volleyball Team swept Pender 3-0 at home Thursday night.

The Patriots won set one 25-19, set two 25-16, and set three 30-28.

Cassidy Hoffman had 14 kills while Kennedy Settje recorded 10 kills and 12 digs. Kim Stodola added 10 kills while Kayden Schumacher posted 9 kills and 18 digs. Brittany Urbanek added 18 digs while Bailey Lemburg and Alissa Kasik had 9 each. Makenna Held compiled 35 set assists.

Great activity, statistics, and match for Clarkson/Leigh.

The Patriots (3-2) take on High Plains (4-4) and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (2-4) at the Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Triangular Thursday night.

The Storm beat Riverside 2-1 at the Riverside Triangular Tuesday night.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, topped Exeter-Milligan and Friend 2-0 at the Friend Invitational on Saturday.

I feel Clarkson/Leigh has a good shot to beat both teams.

The Patriots have been off for a week so they've had time to rest and practice and get ready for both teams.

I really think Clarkson/Leigh has a good chance to take both matches Thursday night.

The Patriots have learned how to finish matches and their losses were close defeats to two very good teams.

Two wins Thursday night would be huge for Clarkson/Leigh.

I think two wins would show that the Patriots have a lot of talented girls on the team and that they can be as good as last year's seniors were.

This team has come together nicely in a short amount of time, and I look for that translate into more good play Thursday night.

Clarkson/Leigh has the Stanton Tournament on Saturday so I think a couple of wins on Thursday will definitely help build and boost the momentum heading into that one.

The Patriots received a lift and a boost last week by picking up a couple of wins and now need to build on that Thursday night.

Clarkson/Leigh played a complete match against Pender, and that's the type of effort the Patriots need night in and night out.

These girls have all stepped up nicely and played their roles very well.

I've been very impressed with Clarkson/Leigh so far and look for the Patriots to continue their winning ways Thursday night.

Imagine what this team will be like too when and if they get back Ashlynn Novotny from injury.

I feel this team would be even stronger with her.
