GACC goes 3-2 in Northeast Nebraska Classic; sweeps Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family

 




After getting off to a slow start, the GACC Volleyball Team appears to be finding its way.

The Bluejays beat Fremont Bergan 2-1 before losing 2-0 to North Bend Central at the Northeast Nebraska Classic in North Bend Thursday night, and then beating Wakefield and BRLD 2-0, but losing 2-0 to Wayne at Wisner-Pilger on Saturday. The Bluejays then swept Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family 3-0 at home Tuesday night.

The Knights took set one from the Bluejays 25-21 before GACC won set two 25-16 and set three 25-21.

Sophia Hass had 12 kills and 27 digs while Greta Wooldrik and Andie Guenther totaled 9 and 8 kills, respectively. Isabel Hass added 20 digs while Megan Plagge tallied 17 digs and 30 assists. Erica Engelmeyer added 11 digs.

The Tigers downed the Bluejays 25-10 in set one and 25-22 in set two.

Sophia Hass had 7 kills and 13 digs while Plagge notched 16 assists.

GACC defeated the Trojans 25-15 in set one and 25-14 in set two.

Sophia Hass tallied 11 kills while Isabel Hass added 12 digs. Engelmeyer registered 11 digs while Plagge compiled 17 assists.

The Bluejays defeated the Wolverines 25-10 in set one and 25-23 in set two.

Sophia Hass recorded 9 kills and 7 digs while Isabel Hass tallied 13 digs. Plagge added 14 assists.

GACC lost set one 25-12 and set two 25-14 to the Blue Devils.

Plagge posted 12 assists.

The Bluejays beat the Bulldogs 25-13 in set one, 25-17 in set two, and 25-21 in set three.

Sophia Hass notched 19 kills and 14 digs while Taylor Timmerman added 10 kills. Isabel Hass contributed 31 digs while Kelsy Steffen totaled 11. Plagge registered 9 digs and 36 assists while Engelmeyer had 9 digs.

It certainly appears as if GACC found themselves some in this tournament and against H/LHF.

I think a slow start against the Tigers is what cost the Bluejays in that match.

GACC (4-4) takes on Boone Central (0-2) on the road Thursday night.

The Cardinals fell 3-0 at O'Neill on Thursday of last week.

I fully anticipate the Bluejays sweeping this match.

GACC flexed their muscles in the Northeast Nebraska Classic and took it to the Bulldogs Tuesday night.

I look for the Bluejays to play well Thursday night and only strengthen themselves for matches down the road.

This is a match where GACC has to play well and continue to get better.

Building yourself and ironing out the weak spots and areas of struggle....that's exactly what the Bluejays must do in this one, adding to what they have done already.

It should be a great night of Volleyball for GACC, and the Bluejays should be able to leave town with a win.

It should also prepare GACC for the tough matches they have next week.
