Varsity Volleyball Team - Regional Champs!
10/27/11 - TC def. IC 2-0
One year ago this same time of year, TC faced off against Immaculate Conception for the regional championship game. And that's where the Trojans found themselves again on Thursday night, this time hoping for a different outcome than last year. In the first set, Timothy jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but that was the biggest gap that either team held all night. Scrappy defense and strong attacking from both teams created long volleys and made everyone work hard for every point. Fighting through many ties, the Trojans pulled out a 2 point lead late in the first set and held on to take the win 25-23. Early in set 2, the Trojans fell behind 2-5. This 3 point deficit seemed like it may be a hill just a little too big to climb, as TC could not get within more than 2-3 points for most of the set. After a few key blocks and kills, Timothy fought their way back to tie up the score at 18-18 and rode the momentum to give themselves a 22-18 lead. Then, it was time for an IC run, as they brought the game back to 24-23, but the Trojans were able to close out the final point of the match for the victory at 25-23 again. Bridgitt Buikema (10 kills) and Kacie Stoll (9 kills) led the hitters, Jenna Lodewyk put up 25 assists, and Jordan Smits (15 digs) and Cassidy Block (10 digs) led Timothy in the back row. Congratulations to the lady Trojans on a job well done!
The volleyball team and coaches would also like to thank all the fans that came out to support the team on Wednesday and Thursday night. Your support and energy in the gym created a great atmosphere for some exciting regional games!
