GACC 2-1 in last three matches

 



The GACC Volleyball Team won 3-0 over Battle Creek in the Mid-State Conference Tournament last Thursday at Norfolk Catholic before beating Wisner-Pilger 3-0 in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals from Howells-Dodge Monday night. The Bluejays then lost 3-1 to Howells-Dodge in Tuesday night's Sub-District Final.

GACC beat the Bravettes 25-12 in set one, 25-14 in set two, and 25-18 in set three.

Greta Wooldrik had 10 kills while Sophia Hass notched 9 kills and 18 digs. Evelyn Wooldrik chipped in 7 kills. Isabel Hass had 20 digs while Erica Engelmeyer totaled 18. Megan Plagge had 13 digs and 27 assists while Kelsy Steffen posted 9 digs.

Sophia Hass had 13 kills and 14 digs while Taylor Timmerman totaled 10 kills. Isabel Hass added 18 digs while Steffen recorded 15. Plagge added 14 digs and 28 assists. Engelmeyer added 8 digs while Reese Throener chipped in 7.

The first set went the way of the Jaguars 26-24. The Bluejays got out to a 9-2 lead in set two and went on to win it 25-13 to tie the match at a set apiece.

GACC got out to a strong start in set three before a Grace Baumert kill ignited Howells-Dodge, pulling the Jaguars to within two at 8-6.

The two teams went back and forth the rest of the set with Howells-Dodge prevailing 26-24.

Set four went the way of the Jaguars 25-16.

Sophia Hass registered a team-high 17 kills and 14 digs for the Bluejays. Timmerman and Evelyn Wooldrik added 7 kills apiece. Isabel Hass had 36 digs while Plagge totaled 16 digs and 40 assists. Engelmeyer registered 13 digs while Steffen recorded 10. Throener chipped in 7.

I thought the Bluejays played really well against Battle Creek and Wisner-Pilger, and well for parts of the match against Howells-Dodge.

GACC (15-10) qualified for Sub-State and hosts Fullerton (15-3) on Saturday in the C2-8 Sub-State Final.

The Warriors won 3-1 over Centura in the C2-9 Sub-District Final at home Tuesday night.

I think the Bluejays will win this one.

GACC plays tougher competition than Fullerton does, and the Warriors were in Class D-1 for a long time. 

That and the match is in West Point so you have a recipe for a Bluejay win.

GACC has to come out and be ready to play Championship Volleyball on Saturday.

It's one win to go to State, and the Bluejays have a great chance to get back to Lincoln.

It's an opportunity to play at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the home of the Huskers.

That's a big deal, and would be awesome should GACC get and play there.

Sophia Hass needs to have a big match for the Bluejays as does Isabel Hass and Plagge.

It has to be a total team effort from GACC.

The Bluejays have to put forth their best effort and play their best match on Saturday.

I feel like GACC will do that too.

First serve is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
