Abby Nelson Digs Up An Attack From Trinity Christian.

Chloe Hustedt Recorded Five Kills In The Trinity Christian Match.

South O’Brien was unable to put it all together on enough plays to avoid a loss to Trinity Christian. Despite holding the lead late in the third set, the Wolverines were swept by Trinity 3-0 October 3 at Hull. Scores of the War Eagle Conference match were 25-20, 25-16 and 26-24. With the loss, South O’Brien slips to 3-6 in the conference and 6-14 on the season.
“Tough loss at Trinity Christian tonight,” remarked Wolverine head coach Amy Schmidt. “We didn’t play well enough to win. We were flat in the start of set one and missed too many serves. We weren’t moving to the ball to get decent passes on serve reception and free balls. Passes were in the net, sets were too tight and we just struggled to earn points. Set two and three were better from the standpoint that we had less service errors but didn’t make aggressive good choices at the net. Defensively we failed to stay low when playing defense and often got caught standing and watching the ball. We had some good touches on blocks but they didn’t drop for points. We just weren’t playing as confident as we have been the past two weeks. We have a long layoff now before our last regular season match (October 12 at George-Little Rock).”
