“Tonight I am just really greatful for my girls,” Trinity head coach Brooke Hall said. “We celebrated our seniors as it was our “Senior Night”. Many of our seniors have dedicated a lot of their time to this sport since 6th-7th grade. They may come from a small school, but they have a big heart for this game and each other.”
Apollo 3, Muhlenberg County 0
Abbie Butterworth led the E-Gals with 15 kills, seven digs, one service ace, and one block in their 3-0 (25-21, 25-14, 25-15) sweep over Muhlenberg County. Jessica Lee recorded a team-high 22 assists, while Jessie Pate finished with 16 digs, 11 kills, three service aces, and two blocks.
“This was a great road win tonight against a tough regional opponent,” Apollo head coach Mary Howard said. “Muhlenberg is very scrappy defensively. This was our first game from taking a week off for fall break. We started off a little out of sync, but I was very proud of how the girls rallied together to make some great runs as the night progressed. We improved to 26-4 on the season with tonight’s victory.”
