Emeralds, Eagles post volleyball wins

Volleyball roundup

MANISTIQUE — The Manistique volleyball team went on the attack Wednesday night and defeated Westwood 3-1.

The Emeralds recorded 39 team kills to win the Mid-Peninsula Conference match 25-13, 27-25, 20-25 and 25-18.

“I thought we played really aggressive tonight, especially offensively,” Manistique coach Amy Nixon said. “We attacked the ball well. We had more kills than we’ve had in some of our bigger matches.”

Lenna Smith led the net play with 14 kills, while Emilee McDaniel and Abby Burnham each contributed eight kills and Kayla Muth six kills and four blocks.

“It was a whole team effort,” Nixon added. “They played a lot more composed and aggressively and we had the passes to get our offense going.”

The Emeralds (3-4 M-PC) return to action Monday.

The summary:

Manistique — Lenna Smith (14 kills, 5 digs, 2 aces), Emilee McDaniel (8 kills, 1 ace, 1 block), Abby Burnham (8 kills), Kayla Muth (6 kills, 4 blocks, 2 aces), Joslyn Muth (31 assists, 2 aces), Sydny Peterson (12 digs).

Hannahville 3, Munising 1

MUNISING — The Hannahville Soaring Eagles remained undefeated this season as they posted a 3-1 (25-19, 18-25, 25-21, 25-18) volleyball triumph over the Munising Baptist Bobcats Tuesday night.

Hannahville’s Ruby Troxell collected 17 service points and 11 kills in the Northern Lights League match. Cecilia Beaver added 16 points and 13 kills.

Kaide Teeple hit 11 points. Brianna Malinowski added 10 points and Dayson Beaver had nine points and 14 assists.

“Cecilia’s attacks were on point when the opportunities presented themselves,” said Hannahville assistant coach Josh Cronick.

“If she sets her feet, the sets are on. She can be an effective outside hitter. Ruby was picking her spots when she was attacking. Together, the girls had a nice one-two punch when the rotation came around. If they get off to a fast start, they have what it takes to protect the lead.”

Hannahville (6-0 overall, 5-0 league) hosts Big Bay de Noc Monday.

The summary:

Hannahville — Troxell (17 points, 11 kills, three digs); C. Beaver (16 points, 13 kills, two assists, three digs); Teeple (11 points, one dig); Malinowski (10 points, two kills, six digs); D. Beaver (nine points, 14 assists, one dig); Ortiz (three points, two kills, two blocks, seven assists); DeVerney (one point, one dig); Philemon (two kills, one block, one assist, one dig); Lofquist (one block).
