Spring Grove attacked with a season-high 43% efficiency with 30 kills and only six hitting errors. McHugh led with nine kills (only one misfire) while Kenadee Gerard added eight kills. Eight different visiting Lions were credited with kills, including five from Lydia Solum. Rachel Normann assisted on 24 of the 30 kills. Grove also served a season-best 93% with 17 aces.
Schaeffer scored the first two points of the second set, but Spring Grove then rolled to a 14-4 lead. Schaeffer was never in contention thereafter and finished the night with more hitting errors (15) than kills (12). The Schaeffer served a good 90%, but there were more service errors (3) than aces (1). Schaeffer dropped to 0-3 and would finish the week at 0-4 (0-4 SEC).
The late-week Lanesboro at Spring Grove match was postponed until Oct. 11. The Sept. 14 match at Houston has also been postponed with makeup date pending.
