  Everlet. With a solid serving effort in the opening set and then
• 0:20
  closing with a gritty stretch run, the LaSalle Peru girls volleyball team
• 0:25
  won its third straight match, beating St. Bede 2520 2516 on Monday
• 0:30
  at Sellot Gym. The Cavaliers 15 2 improved to 5 0 at
• 0:36
  home as the enter Interstate 8 Conference play Tuesday. Entering the match
• 0:40
  as winners of six of their last eight, Saint Bede, seven four
• 0:44
  two made LaSalle Peru fight for every advantage early on. A block
• 0:48
  by Kate Duncan and Hannah Washkoyak gave the Bruins a 6 5
• 0:52
  lead in the opening set. LaSalle Peru got on track with the
• 0:55
  serve of Addy Dawson, who notched two service aces in a five
• 0:59
  point run that put the Cavaliers in front ten sixth. We're an
• 1:02
  aggressive serving team, LP coach Mark Habricorn said after his team recorded
• 1:07
  four aces without an error in the first set. That's been our
• 1:11
  style all year. We serve tough and we get aces without giving
• 1:15
  points away. It's always important to keep that to a minimum. Kiara
• 1:19
  Mertez and Kenzie Chamberlain also served aces for the home team, which
• 1:23
  stayed in front the rest of the first set as St. Bede
• 1:26
  managed to get within three points on two occasions, the last of
• 1:29
  which came at 22-19. The Cavalier closed out the set with a
• 1:34
  kill by outside hitter Aubrey Dutlinger, one of a match high 14
• 1:38
  for the senior. Trailing 4-1 to start the second set, the Bruins
• 1:42
  got a pair of kills from Duncan to ignite a 6-1 scoring
• 1:46
  runs than included a block and kill from Kija Lucas and was
• 1:49
  capped off by an ace from Bentlia Ernott to give the guests
• 1:52
  a 7-5 edge. We had a plan on what we wanted to
• 1:56
  execute, and we did that pretty well, Saint Bede coach Nicole Trenka
• 2:00
  said. We just let them get on a few more runs than
• 2:03
  we should have. Dutlinger is a phenomenal player, and we knew they
• 2:08
  were going to feed her as much as possible, so one of
• 2:10
  our main goals was to get them to involve other hitters. Dutlinger
• 2:15
  halted the rally with
• 2:15
  a kill, then delivered Dumore along with an ace while on serve,
• 2:19
  as LaSalle Peroux scored seven straight points to takes
• 2:22
  a lead it would not relinquish. The Bruins embarked on a comeback
• 2:26
  bid that brought them within two points at 1614, as Nell Pothoff
• 2:30
  and Lila Kola recorded service aces, and Lucas and Hannah Heiberger had
• 2:34
  kills. The Cavaliers followed with a five-point run that put they match
• 2:38
  out of reach, getting two kills from Dutlinger, along with one each
• 2:42
  from Addy Schmidt and Alexis Hines. Schmidt also delivered the kill on
• 2:47
  match point. When Butler takes a lot of swings and we move
• 2:50
  the ball around, it opens it up for everybody else, Habercorn said.
• 2:55
  Uh you're not going to win with just one player, and we
• 2:58
  do have players with the ability to put the ball down. They
• 3:01
  hit hard and they're always ready when they get the opportunity. Aubrey
• 3:05
  Urbanski finished with eighteen assists for La Salle Perou, while Dutlinger also
• 3:10
  led the Cavaliers with six digs. Lucas had a match best seven
• 3:14
  kills for Saint Bede, and Ernat recorded eleven digs. La Salle Peru
• 3:18
  opened Conference Play Tuesday at Sycamore while the Bruins visit Hall 3-2
• 3:23
  in non-conference play Wednesday.
