Spring Grove kept its strong SEC season going by notching two more league wins. At Schaeffer Academy, the SG Lions were easily the better squad in straight sets, 25-11, 25-7, 25-9. Setter Claire Sherburne (22 assists, 14-15 serving, 3 aces, 6 digs) led the way. Braelyn Middendorf (12-12 serving, 5 aces) also served well. Kallyn Morken and Addison Rask (8 kills each) led the offense. Abby Rud (6 kills on 63% efficiency), Jada Strinmoen (5 kills), Brinley Middendorf (4 kills), Izabel Kaufmann (7 digs, 3 aces), and Lauren Hammel (4 kills) helped. At Lanesboro was a competitive affair for one set. The Burros got the best of SG in game one 27-25. But the Lions came back to win the next three decisively, 25-16, 25-16, 25-12, for the 3-1 win. Sherburne went for 44 (assists), 11 (digs), and 7 (aces) on 31-31 serving. Kaufmann (29 digs) and Morken (13 kills, 24 digs) each topped 20 digs. Brin. Middendorf (14 kills, 2 blocks, 2 aces), Rask (11 kills, 14 dig), and Hammel (10 kills) helped. Emma Ruen (5 kills, 10 assists, 17 digs) and Kaylee Gilbertson (7 kills, 21 digs) led Lanesboro. Jentrey Schreiber (7 kills, 8 digs), Prailey Willford (10 digs, 4 aces), Tenley Qualy (12 assists, 5 digs), Irelynn Papenfuss (6 digs), and Cora Mayer (5 kills) helped. The Lions (9-1 SEC, 12-7 overall) trail M-C (9-0, 15-5) in the SEC-East. Lanesboro is 4-6 in the SEC, 8-7 overall.
