  proved to be them difference in Hersher's twenty six, twenty eight, twenty
• 0:33
  five twenty, twenty five sixteen win Monday night at Straighter. I just
• 0:38
  go right back to the line after an ace, and right when
• 0:41
  I hear the whistle I serve, Scanlon said. I like to be
• 0:44
  quick, catch them off their feet. You know everyone's tucking, and I
• 0:48
  just like to serve right away. Keep pushing. Once you get the
• 0:52
  lead, you've just got to keep going. And after the first set
• 0:55
  not having a lead late, it was really motivating to have that
• 0:59
  stretch of points. Herscher, which lost a previous three-set thriller to Streeter
• 1:04
  less than a month ago, improved to 1311 overall and 6-4 in
• 1:09
  the Illinois Central Eight. Streeter, which surrendered fourteen aces on the evening,
• 1:14
  including seven in the third, and deciding set, slips to october third,
• 1:18
  twelve overall, four six on the ICE conference loop. I would say
• 1:23
  the Aces Ren surrendered were part of it, Streeter Coach Julie Gabelhart
• 1:27
  said. The other thing was, when we did have to pass, we
• 1:30
  couldn't find the court. We were hitting the ball in the net,
• 1:33
  long, wide. Then when we'd get the pass in the set, we
• 1:36
  couldn't find the court. Or there were some times we just couldn't
• 1:39
  get the pass up to run an offense. We just need to
• 1:43
  get more consistent, make smarter choices with where we play the ball,
• 1:47
  have a purpose with every ball that we play. Sometimes we get
• 1:50
  in panic mode when it's not a perfect passer set and don't
• 1:54
  take care of the ball. Leading scorers on the night were Ashley
• 1:58
  Taylor, 4 kills, 11 assists, 9 digs, Kinsley, Sweden, 3 kills, 8
• 2:02
  assists, 2 aces, Avery Gribbin, team high 7 kills, Malaya Zavada, 5
• 2:07
  kills, 2 blocks, Alexa Bar, team high 12 digs, and Libero Shelby
• 2:11
  Ondeck 7 digs, and Kennedy Harcherick, 6 digs. Hersher's statistical leaders included
• 2:17
  Scanlon, Team Hyes in both kills with nine and aces with five
• 2:20
  plus nine digs, Aisley Buffard, four kills, Adolin Summers, fourteen assists, eleven
• 2:26
  digs, three aces, Libero Cameron Miller, 14 digs, Avery Jones, 4 kills,
• 2:31
  8 assists, Emory Fritz, 3 kills, 7 digs, 4 aces, and Kendall
• 2:35
  Wakey, 3 kills, 2 aces, who served up the final two points
• 2:38
  of the night on a pair of aces. We do a lot
• 2:42
  of work in the gym, serving every day. Hersher coach Jackie Carlson
• 2:45
  said, if you can't serve, you can't win, might The girls have
• 2:49
  been putting a lot of work In
• 2:50
  the gym and a lot of it was a mental hurdle for
• 2:53
  us. Our girls are solid, they're athletic, they're bonded, they work hard,
• 2:57
  but that mental piece was what was hard overcoming. At the beginning
• 3:02
  of the season we didn't gave that, but now if we communicate,
• 3:05
  we do great things. As might be expected with two balanced conference
• 3:09
  opponents facing off, each of Monday's three set was close late. In
• 3:14
  the opener, the Tigers used a late five point service run from
• 3:17
  Summers that included an ace serve and a Jones kill to hold
• 3:21
  off five consecutive straighter set points and force extra serves. A kill,
• 3:26
  from Taylor finally broke Hersher's serve, and a Zavada kill gave the
• 3:30
  Bulldogs another chance at set point. They cashed in on the opportunity
• 3:33
  with a soft hit Sweden winner off Gribbon, its only assist of
• 3:37
  the night. The second set was 17:15 in favor of the visitors
• 3:41
  before a Jones Kill and Scanlon Ace sparked a 6-2 run that
• 3:45
  set up Fritz to serve an ace to force a rubber set.
• 3:48
  In that decisive third set, the Bulldogs led 10-9 until Alexi Dugroot
• 3:53
  Kill, her only one of the night, tied the set and sent
• 3:56
  Scanlon to the service line with the ball in hand. Three aces
• 3:59
  and two additional unreturned serves later, Hersher was in complete control and
• 4:04
  closed the match with a 16-6 run, Wakey's two aces ending it.
