The Scott Eagles (17-5) opened 37th District action with a convincing 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-21) win over the Bishop Brossart Mustangs (12-9).
Scott had four aces, 33 kills, 12 blocks and 69 digs overall. Freshman Milyn Minor had two aces, five blocks, 14 digs and 13 kills with senior Makaylah Mitchell putting together 12 kills and three blocks. Junior Brooke Balsley had three blocks and senior Audrey Griffin had 22 digs.
“It was back and forth pretty much all three sets for both teams,” said Andrea Sullivan, Scott head coach. “It was a battle. I think we’re both kind of evenly matched. We both have big middles and both have a solid outside hitter. I think we just pass the ball a bit better than them. Defensively, I think we did a good job picking up balls.”
Scott saw a number of contributions from many players. Senior Laine Morman had 14 digs.
“I have to give it to our blocking,” Morman said. “Our blocking does a good job taking away zones away so our defense is capable of getting to lines, reading where hitters are going to hit and being able to read blocks.”
Brossart had 30 kills, 11 blocks, 30 assists, 82 digs and eight aces. Sophomore Corrine Blackburn had nine kills and five blocks with senior setter Savannah Seiter recording 23 assists. Junior defensive specialist Maddie Kremer had 26 digs and sophomore Kate Neltner had 21 digs and eight kills. Senior Ava Thomas had 13 digs and four blocks with junior Jessica Keller landing four aces.
Scott plays host to Ryle (10-6) on Thursday at 7 p.m. Bishop Brossart plays in the Cake Classic at Highlands over the weekend.
