YOU CAN’T SCORE 5 POINTS IN A ROW IF YOU SERVE THE BALL INTO THE NET – Bucs Volleyball Good Luck Charm
Bedford defeated Wayland in volleyball 3-1 with two clearly defined improvements in their game – “Quality Serves” and “Ferocious Frosh”.
In just the first two sets, the Bucs rolled off three runs of 5+ serves in a row forcing Wayland to play from behind. Bedford took the first two sets – 25-12 & 25-14. Five different servers all recorded aces – Michaela Schmidt (5), Kate Winkler (3), Mallory Ferland (2), Kara Shelmire (2), Cam Rackey (2), and Kristina Parenti (2).
Two Frosh emerged as dominant players – Michaela Schmidt and Lauren Harrell. Michaela had 5 aces to go along with her 3 kill shots. Lauren Harrell had a team-high 7 block shots. Lauren and junior Kara Shelmire controlled center court and formed an impenetrable wall for which Wayland spikers had no answers.
Setter Kristina Parenti evenly spread the ball around with 7 different Buc cannoneers recording kill shots. Kristina ended up with a team high, 23 assists.
Bedford Varsity’s next match is Thursday, September 27th at 5:15 at Tewksbury. Tewksbury has a terrific Volleyball court with a high ceiling. If you want to watch great volleyball – Be there.
