Nevada 25-25-25
Rams 12-15-13
Greene County had a tough time against #13 Nevada, losing 12-15, 15-25 and 13-25 on Thursday.
Despite the loss, coach Chris Heisterkamp was encouraged. She said, “We knew Nevada would be a super strong opponent and I credit the girls for the difficult task of being prepared to take the heat. We haven’t been consistent in our readiness, so tonight was good to see the girls focused at the first whistle, knowing well the action would be intense.
“Our blocking was better overall and after a shaky start, our passing picked up to allow us to get some nice kills. Our scores look bleak, and Nevada certainly out-played us, but in spite of taking the loss, there were some positive take aways.”
Again the Rams served well. They were successful on 37/40 attempts for 92 percent. Paige Heaning stroked 11/12 and an ace; Lily Muir 8/9 with an ace; Harleigh Weir, 5/5 and an ace; Aubrey Heupel 7/8.
Brianna Osterson knocked down five kills while Isabella Schroeder and Muir each added three. Aubrey Heupel set nine assists.
Covering the Ram court were Aubrey Heupel with nine digs; Muir with four and Katrina Heupel and Weir with three each.
