Stanton begins season 1-3

 

The Stanton Volleyball Team is off to a 1-3 start as the Mustangs fell 2-0 to West Point-Beemer and Battle Creek last Thursday at the Battle Creek Triangular to open up the season before losing 2-0 to Clarkson/Leigh, but beating Madison 2-0 at the Stanton Triangular Thursday night.

The Mustangs fell 25-20 in set one and 25-13 in set two to the Cadets.

Sylvia Cunningham and Olivia Cunningham each had 7 digs while Bridgett Jensen totaled 7 assists.

The Bravettes took set one 31-29 and set two 25-15.

Sylvia Cunningham had 8 kills while Jensen and Haylea Nelson added 10 and 9 assists, respectively.

The Mustangs fell 25-13 in set one to the Patriots, and lost set two 25-22.

Stanton beat the Dragons 25-9 in set one, and 25-16 in set two.

Sylvia Cunningham led the way with 7 kills while Jensen and Nelson compiled 8 and 7 assists, respectively.

A slow start to the season for the Mustangs, but the win over Madison helps.

Stanton (1-3) takes on Columbus Lakeview (2-0) at the Columbus Scotus Tournament on Saturday.

The Viqueens defeated Seward 3-0 at home Thursday night.

The Mustangs definitely have their work cut out for them in this one, but Stanton has to go into this tournament ready to compete.

Stanton has to come ready to play and must get off to a fast start against Lakeview.

The Mustangs can't afford to start slow or fall behind early, or the match may not go in their favor.

Stanton has to make the most of the day, and go out there and have fun and play inspired.

The Mustangs have started the season slow, but no better tournament to find your rhythm and get on track than in this tournament.

I look for Stanton to go in there and compete and give it their all.

It hopefully will be a good and successful day of Volleyball for the Mustangs.

It won't be easy though as there is some very good and tough competition in this tournament.

Stanton has been there and done that before though so the Mustangs know their way around tough tournaments.

We'll see if Stanton's experience of the past benefits them in Saturday's Tournament.

First serve is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. in Columbus.
