The George Rogers Clark volleyball team stretched its winning streak to four games with a sweep of visiting Bourbon County Tuesday night at Norton Gymnasium.
The Lady¿Cardinals won 25-15, 25-14 and 25-9 over the Lady Colonels.
“It was a great district win for us,” Clark coach Robyn Curry said. “We served the ball very well.”
Clark senior Carrie Irvin had 29 sets, 24 set assists and one ace.
“I was very pleased with Carrie Irvin,” Curry said. “She had a super game for us tonight, making big, athletic plays.”
Curry also liked the way Darion Marzetti performed.
“She played very well,” Curry said.
Kyndal Curry had eight aces, while Maddie Hamlin followed with two. Hamlin added a block, followed by Sandra Skinner with six kills. Curry and Marzetti had five kills each, followed by Hamlin with four and Cori Miller and Joanna Guerrant with one each.
Amy Kao had 11 serve receive passes and added 17 digs. Kyndal Curry had five serve receive passes. Katlynn Williams and Irvin combined for eight serve receive passes in the contest.
Clark will get a break today before taking on Pendleton County Thursday night in Falmouth.
“We need to really buckle down and practice hard,” Curry said. “They are a very tough team in our region that we need to be ready for.”
The freshmen and junior varsity teams swept each of their two games. In the second set of the junior varsity game, Clark produced 18 aces.
“I was very impressed with how my JV¿played tonight,” Curry said. “The future of GRC¿volleyball is bright. We have a lot of height, strength and athletic JV¿team that I am looking forward to coaching. (The 18 aces) shows just how far we have come as a team when we go to just learning how to serve to dominating in that area.”
