Kendra Pritzl lead in kills with 4, Gianna Nahring lead in assists with 4, Lizzie Pritzl lead in ace serves with 3, Josie Wegner lead in digs with 7. The ladies played a very solid game, working out front roll hitters.

Alli Lueloff lead in kills with 8, Lizzie Pritzl lead in assists with 8, Kendra Pritzl lead in ace serves with 3, Kendra Pritzl lead in digs with 5, Alli, Lizzie & Gianna Nahring all had big blocks for the Midgets. Another solid game of hitting for the Midgets.

Kendra lead in kills with 5, Gianna lead in assists with 6, Gianna & Alli both had 2 ace serves, big digging by Alli with 13, Josie Wegner with 9, Gianna with 9, Kendra with 7 and Lizzie with 5. Kendra lead with blocks with 2. These ladies played hard and never let up with hitting at the net. They played a very scrappy game and never let up.
Which brought us into the Championship game where we met Mercer. The Midgets lost 20-25 & 14-25. Kendra lead in kills with 4, Lizzie in assists with 7, Josie in ace serves with 2, Gianna & Alli lead in digs with 9 a piece. The win didn’t come but these ladies showed that you should never count the Midgets out of anything. We are a team that is growing and coming in strong right at the perfect time. Proud of our lady Midgets for putting everything into this tournament!!
