Wall to Wall Volleyball on a Thursday Night : Southern Valley District, Strasburg, Wilson vs. Luray and much, much more!

Image
Lets start the Party by checking in at Eastern Mennonite University. EMU was the site for the Shenandoah District finals between #2 seed Luray and #1 Wilson Memorial. Wilson defeated the Lady Bulldogs 3-1 to add the Tournament trophy to the one the Green Hornets collected for the regular season. Luray took the opener 25-14 but WMHS stormed back to take Games 2 & 3 by scores of 25-16 and 25-12. Luray didn't fold up and go home just yet though as Julie Rothgeb's squad rallied behind Senior Katie Cubbage . Cubbage scored the first two points of the game with Blocks of Kala Guy and Taijha Jones to give Luray a 2-0 lead. Guy (5'8) and Cubbage (5'9) would then spend the middle of the game beating the ball of each other. A rare Guy miss hit gave Luray a 21-17 lead and the LHS crowd was getting ready for a 5TH and deceiding game. But Luray gave the ball back by committing their 5TH service error of the game and that was the crack in the door that Guy needed. ...

BRIDGEWATER - I was a little late arriving at Eastern Mennonite University for the Shenandoah District Finals because there was a stop to make on the way. When Strasburg's Katie Baker deceided to play Volleyball at Bridgewater College last summer I went in search of a schedule to see how many home matches I could attend. It turned out that BC was to play six home matches as well as hosting the BC Invatational , with all of the action taking place in Niniger Hall. Thursday night was the final of the six home matches (Went 6 for 6!) as the Squirrels of Mary Baldwin College made the trip up from Staunton for a non-conference match against Coach Greg Spector's Lady Eagles. Final home match of t...
