Despite some tough losses, Powell said some of the high points to this season have been beating Seymour and winning the Jeff. Invitational.
FC’s first match will be on Wed. against Assumption, which is ranked number three in the nation. Senior Kyndall Merrit said they have great defense and size. Coach Powell talked about the keys to Assumption’s success.
“Their kids start playing around kindergarten,” Powell said. “They play volleyball year-round and they have a great coaching staff.”
Thurs.’s match will be against Jeff and although they have struggled in the past, Powell thinks they have the potential to be good.
“They have a coach that has put in a lot of time and effort in making them better and he has made them better,” Powell said.
Senior Rachel Engle said playing these two matches can help the team gain confidence. The Assumption match is set for 7:30 p.m. at Assumption, while the Jeff match is also set for 7:30 p.m. at FC.
