This was
a huge win for the Scouts over the Bears. Lake Zurich
has had the Scouts number for the past several years and
recently gave the Scouts 1 of their 4 losses on the year. Of
the 14 players on the Scout squad, the 11 returning seniors
refused to have their season end to the Bears (as it did
in the previous year). Much
of the momentum of the match began with the first attack as
Carolyn Hopfinger planted the ball down deep on the Bears. The
relentless attack continued through the first set and deep
into the second set. Lake Zurich was able to stage
a strong return which tied the second set at 18, 20 and again
at 22. Playing
the entire night with a lead provided the confidence in the
Scouts, allowing them to finish the match strong.
With the win, the Scouts advance to the Sectional final match
vs. Stevenson on Thursday night at 7 pm, Buffalo Grove High
School.
Record: 32-4, 7-1 (in conference)

This was
a fun tournament to win for the Scouts. The entire
Scout squad was needed to contribute to the win. With
multiple starters out of the line up for much of the tournament,
new opportunities for players were presented, and these players
were able to take advantage of the moments in positive ways. The
general approach that the Scouts needed to focus on was playing
fundamental volleyball--starting with solid defense and ball
control. The Scouts were able to play with a high level
of positive energy, confidence and toughness, specifically
on Saturday when they dropped the first sets to both Zion
and Stevenson and were able to respond with back-to-back
wins vs. both teams to claim the Cross Town Championship.

Congratulations
to the Scouts for winning a hard-fought match for the NSC

first set of the match the Eagles took it to the Scouts, beating
them soundly in all aspects of the game, 15-25.
Set #2 was a constant wave of momentum shifts with both teams
constantly scrambling to find order out of the chaos. To
close out set 2, the Scouts were able to find a quick 3- point
run to force a third set with a big kill from Anna Schwartz,
on Match Point for Lakes. This shot tied the score at 25. Following an
Eagle hitting error, Mary Striedl's kill ended the set 27-25 with the Scouts
on top.
Set #3, the Scouts were finally able to exhale and relax, winning 25-17. In
this final set, the Scouts' defense led the way--recording 6 blocks and 10 digs
as Jennifer Kreb was able to account for 3 of the Scouts' blocks in this final
set. Meredith Huszagh, Maggie Jacobson and Tori Lanzillotti provided solid
