  Everlett. Hall's volleyball team recorded its first victory over Marquette since 2018
• 0:22
  in emphatic fashion Monday. The
• 0:24
  Red Devils kept the Crusaders off balance with quality serving, closing both
• 0:29
  sets with extended scoring runs in a 25-13-2517 sweep. The Red Devils,
• 0:35
  7-15-4, snapped a 5-match losing streak to Marquette and dealt the Crusaders,
• 0:41
  19-6, just their second loss in their last 10 outings. Hall made
• 0:46
  its first bid to take control of the match very early. With
• 0:49
  the score tied at 3 in the first set, Caroline Morris delivered
• 0:53
  three straight aces to spark a 6-1 scoring run what included an
• 0:57
  ace by Mia Wenzel. Kills by Kinley Rick and Kelsey Coutre helped
• 1:01
  Marquette whittle down the deficit as the visitors closed the gap to
• 1:04
  14-12. A block by Morris started Hall on what became a ten-point
• 1:09
  run, capped by a pair of aces from Ava Delphi. Morris put
• 1:13
  away the final point of a 25-13 first set win. Our serving
• 1:17
  was really tough tonight, Hall Coach Carolyn Foster said. Were been working
• 1:21
  on serving, and the girls know I expect tough serves. If you're
• 1:25
  not gonna serve tough, what's the point? We have to take them
• 1:28
  out of systems. Ava Delphi served awesome tonight, and we were able
• 1:32
  to pick the apart. Hall Jr. Sophie Simpson entered the rotation for
• 1:37
  the first time Monday after outside hitter Leah Burkhart was sidelined with
• 1:42
  a sprained ankle she suffered during Saturday's Comic Classic at Reed Custer.
• 1:47
  Simpson delivered two kills in the first four points of the second
• 1:50
  set as Morris added two more and Delphi connected for another before
• 1:54
  Morris's fourth ace of the evening made it a 6-2 scored four
• 1:59
  team just really worked together, Wenzel said. We had Simpson coming in
• 2:03
  because Burkhart got hurt in our last match. We just came together
• 2:06
  and really wanted the win. The Red Devils owned an eighteen twelve
• 2:10
  lead before Marquette scored four straight points, getting a block from Kushra
• 2:15
  and a kill from Rita McLaughlin to close the gap to eighteen
• 2:18
  sixteen. Some nights are good and some nights are bad, said Marquette
• 2:23
  coach Mindy McKinnahe, whose team took part in its twelfth match in
• 2:26
  as many days. Tonight was a bad night. They couldn't get themselves
• 2:30
  out of it. We were not mentally tough or physically tough tonight.
• 2:34
  Hall took advantage of our miscues, and everything seemed to go their
• 2:38
  way. Just like the first set, Hall closed the match with urgency.
• 2:43
  Delphi and Simpson registered kills before Nina Zamora notched too straight, and
• 2:47
  Caitlyn Coutts landed the home team's ninth ace of the night in
• 2:51
  a six zero run that made it twenty four sixteen. Coot Sled
• 2:55
  Hall with six kills and Delphi recorded Three aces. Wenzyzel finished with
• 2:59
  fourteen assists, and Cassie Lopez totaled a team high twelve digs. Couture
• 3:04
  and McLaughlin paced Marquette with three kills each, McLaughlin added seven assists,
• 3:08
  and Hunter Hopkins had nine digs. Both teams play at home Tuesday.

  Hall hosts Eerie Profitsdown in Three Rivers Athletic Conference action, and Marquette

  hosts a non-conference match against Crossroads Christian.
