The term “homestand” is a big baseball term, as major league teams often play multiple home games in a row.  Fillmore Central volleyball had a homestand to begin the 2022 season.   Their first three matches were all in Harmony.  The Falcons followed up an opening week win over Hayfield with TRC victories over Lewiston-Altura and La Crescent/Hokah.  Good serving (poor serve receive) was a key to the wins.  Versus the Cardinals, FC used 16 aces to post an easy 3-0 win (25-11, 25-15, 25-11).  Freshman libero Kyla Hellickson (18-19 serving, 7 aces, 15 digs) led the way.  Kammry Broadwater (7 kills, 12-12 serving, 3 aces) and Alyssa Britton (4 kills, 3 aces) also had a least three aces.  Abby Bothun (4 kills, 5 digs), Madison Simon (5 kills), Regan Hanson (7 digs), and Aubrey Daniels (17 assists) helped.  Two nights later, the Lancers came to town.   Travis Malley’s group posted another sweep (25-20, 25-15, 25-13).   FC had 19 aces.  Hellickson again led the effort (18-20 serving, 8 aces, 14 digs).  Broadwater (7 kills, 7 digs, 3 aces), Bothun (4 kills, 7 digs, 13-13 serving, 4 aces), and Britton (9-9 serving, 3 aces) helped.  Daniels (15 assists, 6 digs) did the setting.  Hanson (8 digs) helped defensively.  FC is 2-0 in the TRC, 3-0 overall.
