Emeralds pick up huge win, sweep Eskymos 3-0

MANISTIQUE — The Manistique Emeralds passed a major test here Thursday night in a 3-0 (25-21, 25-13, 25-22) volleyball triumph over the Escanaba Eskymos.

“I think we played real well on defense,” said Emeralds’ coach Amy Nixon. “We were able to get the ball to our hitters and really put pressure on them offensively. We had some good battles at the net.

“Nicole (Kamin) had some nice hits for them. We also blocked her a few times. She definitely got her kills, but we also dug up a few of her shots. I think this gives us a lot of momentum going forward.”

Manistique’s Lenna Smith collected 12 kills. Emilee McDaniel added seven kills and four blocks and Erin LaBar had 24 assists.

The Emeralds, who also won the jayvee match 2-1 (26-24, 21-25, 25-17), are entered in Saturday’s Charlevoix Invitational.

Manistique — Smith (three aces, 12 kills); Chartier (three aces); McDaniel (seven kills, four blocks); Muth (two blocks); LaBar (24 assists); Zellar (nine digs); Richey (six digs).
