• 0:19
  volleyball team was given new life when St. Bede was whistled for
• 0:23
  a net violation. The Red Devils capitalized. Ava Delphi fired an ace
• 0:28
  to give Hall the lead. On the next volley, Mia Wensl popped
• 0:32
  up a brewing tip, Caitlin Cootz bumped toward the net, and Leah
• 0:36
  Burkert put it away to give the Red Devils a thrilling 24-26,
• 0:40
  25-27, 26-24 victory over rival St. Bede in a non-conference match Wednesday
• 0:46
  in Spring Valley. It felt really good, Coot said. I was just
• 0:51
  kind of overwhelmed. A couple of our players were on the floor.
• 0:55
  It was just really exciting. Just a feeling of We just did
• 0:57
  that. We pulled together. It was really good. We've been working really
• 1:02
  hard and looking forward to this game. We knew we had to
• 1:05
  come out with a lot of energy. I was proud of my
• 1:07
  team for doing just that. We didn't give up even when we
• 1:11
  did get down. We came back and really showed up on the
• 1:14
  court. It's the second match in a row the Red Devils won
• 1:18
  in extra points in the third set, after defeating Newman 13-25-25-23,
• 1:24
  27-25 on Tuesday. Wednesday's win was Hall's third in a row. After
• 1:29
  an eight-match losing streak. They have worked their butts off, Hall Coach
• 1:35
  Carolyn Foster has said. We had gone on a losing streak. We
• 1:38
  have been going three games, they're fighting, but we as quigas couldn't
• 1:42
  pull them.
• 1:42
  Out. Now we've won three in a row. The last two have
• 1:45
  been eight and they're still fighting. I'm just very proud of them.
• 1:49
  They are realizing that it's not just slamming the ball down. It's
• 1:53
  finding holes and finding their weakest links and putting it to them.
• 1:58
  The first set was full of runs and momentum swings with nine
• 2:01
  ties and eight lead changes. After Hall tied it at twenty three
• 2:06
  on a kill by Burkhart, Hope Aunt Kojak scored on a dump,
• 2:09
  and Keija Lucas recorded a block to give the set to the
• 2:12
  Bruins. I think there was definitely some good moments Saint Bede coach
• 2:17
  Nicole Trenka said. I think there were a few moments we kind
• 2:20
  of just let up, especially in the second set. We j we
• 2:23
  just let a few things get in our heads and couldn't get
• 2:25
  out of that rut for a bit. But overall there were definitely
• 2:29
  some good moments and good adjustments. The Red Devils took control of
• 2:34
  the second set early, scoring the first two points and building a
• 2:37
  12 4 lead. Casi Lopez had a four-point service run to push
• 2:41
  the lead to 18 9, and a four-point run by Delphi extended
• 2:45
  the lead to 1211. Saint Bede made a late rally, but Hall
• 2:49
  closed it out on a tip from Caroline Morris. Coming off that
• 2:53
  loss, we had extra motivation, Morris said. We knew we needed to
• 2:57
  win that second set so we could go into three. We made
• 3:00
  sure to stick together and cheer each other on, tell each other
• 3:04
  we can do this, and make sure we kept pushing through. St.
• 3:08
  Bede seemed poised to take control in the third setup 13 8,
• 3:11
  but a Bruins error and a four point run by Delphi, which
• 3:14
  included an ace, tied it at 13, and the set stayed within
• 3:18
  four the rest of They way. The Bruins led 2319 but back
• 3:22
  to back kills by Burkhart, a Saint Bede error and a kill
• 3:25
  by Morris Tydott. Saint Bede got to match point on a tip
• 3:29
  by Lucas before the net violation tied it and Hall scored They
• 3:32
  final two points. That definitely kills our momentum, Trenka said about the
• 3:38
  violation. When it's something avoidable, and everyone kind of knows it, they
• 3:44
  get frustrated and we really just had to move on as quickly
• 3:47
  as possible, and I think that's something we struggled with a little
• 3:50
  bit. Hall adjusted really well in the third set. I think we
• 3:54
  really struggled to find their holes. They had energy the whole time.
• 3:58
  We let a lot of things kinda get in our own way,
• 4:01
  and they just kept figuring out how to adjust and where to
• 4:04
  go to next. Coots had 15 digs, 8 kills and an ace,
• 4:07
  Morris put down 10 kills, Burkhart contributed 6 kills, 6 digs, 3
• 4:12
  aces in a block, Wenzel had 27 assists and 7 digs, and
• 4:16
  Delphi added 5 kills, 5 digs, and 5 aces for Hall. 5102.
• 4:21
  For St. Bede, 752, Lucas and Hannah Woshkoyak had six kills and
• 4:25
  five blocks each, while Hannah Heiberger put down five kills. Heiberger and
• 4:29
  Nelopatoff served four aces each.
