FINDLAY – A couple points. A missed shot here and there, made all the difference for the Ross volleyball team Thursday night.
The Lady Giants took two sets beyond 25 points, but couldn’t get over the hump, losing in three sets to the Trojans, 18-25, 26-28, 25-27.
“We’re still kind of in and out on doing the things we have to do to get the pionts when we need to get them,” coach Kari Shull said.
“In the second set, it came down to a ref call, whether I agree with it or not is on the table, absolutely,” Shull said. “The third set we failed to excite at doing some of those little things we need to do so. We sent over a very easy attack and their 6-2 middle put down our pipeline.”
The Lady Giants had to shuffle the lineup just minutes before the match. Kennedy Bohannan stepped on a teammate’s foot in warm-ups, twisting her ankle.
“I had to take Lindsay Weickert out of the Libero jersey because Kennedy Bohannan got hut in warmup,” Shull said. “I thought Lindsey stepped up and did a nice job swinging for us and going all the way around. I thought AnneMarie Moses had a nice match as well.
“Sarah Hrynciw she stepped up,’ she added. “When I took Lindsay out of the Libero jersey, I put it on her.”
Weickert finished the night with 21 passes and nine digs while Hrynciw had 13 passes and 11 digs.
Olivia DeRodes had 10 kills while Jazmin Bulger had seven kills and two blocks. Moses finished the night with five kills, two blocks, 18 passes and six digs while Marissa Overmyer had three blocks.
Aliza Quick had 15 assists and Izzy Held had 10 assists and seven digs.
Ross is now 3-10 overall, 1-3 TRAC, and will travel to Ashland on Saturday.
