Mohawk splits tri-match
BUCYRUS -- Mohawk demolished Plymouth in the third game of a 17-15, 4-15, 15-1 win over the Big Red to salvage a split in a tri-match.
Before the Plymouth match, the Warriors fell to Wynford, 15-2, 15-5. Mohawk will take a 7-6 record into Carey tonight for a Midland Athletic League match.
"Wynford's got an excellent team, but we didn't give them much of a challenge at all," Mohawk coach Hope Boes said. "We've come a long way towards being a better team, but we're still working at it and tonight wasn't one of our better showings."
Megan Martin had 14 points and 17 assist to lead the Warrior efforts. Jamie Amory (eight kills) scored nine points and Katie Weininger (13 assists, four kills) added eight. Jackie Hilborn had four kills to go with six blocks, Amber Schwochow hit home five blocks and eight kills, and Carrie Bloom chipped in three kills and four blocks.
SANDUSKY -- Seneca East rebounded from a loss to Hopewell-Loudon and improved to 8-2 with a 15-2, 15-2 slamming of Sandusky St. Mary's.
Kiara Ruffing stood out with 11 points, 18 assists and two aces for the Tigers, and Jamie Herr had 10 points and four aces to go with three digs, two blocks and four kills. Two of Jill Scherley's six points were aces, and Haleigh Conley (two points, dig) added nine kills. Also contributing were Courtney Conley (three kills, point, block, dig), Cristin Burkholder (two kills, block, dig) and Natalie Mahl (kill, block).
The Tigers are into MAL play with a home match against Fremont St. Joseph tonight.
BETTSVILLE -- New Riegel improved to 3-8 with a 15-13, 15-9 win over Bettsville.
Kari Reinhart had 12 points, five of them aces, for the winners. Theresa Hammer added six points and Lisa Schalk scored five. Dawn Lucius hammered home five kills, and Megan Kiesel was next with four.
Bettsville travels to Calvert tonight. New Riegel is in action again Thursday at Hopewell-Loudon.
