  Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!

The Lake’s Gold (JV) evened their record in sweeping Gonzales at the Hawk Nest, 25-18 25-13.

The first set Lake did not get separation and not having more that a 2 point advantage until Harper Harrison scored on 3 consecutive aces ballooning a Lake advantage to 5 points, 21-16.

From their Brailey McCurdy and Hayley Mechler kills added by another ace from Cameron Parker combined with unforced errors by these Apaches would seal that first set for this Home team, 25-18.

With 9 unforced Lake errors in that first set being the main culprit in not forcing an advantage during those first volleys opening this battle.

                         Let’s Go Lake!

In a convincing second set, The Lake forged this win on Ella Parker’s service with a 5 point rally leaving CL Gold in command leading, 16-7.

Te’a Gonzales led the team with 6 kills with 4 of those in that second set combined with 2 more aces from Mechler.

Head Gold Coach Kara Barnes surmised, “We have really been focusing on turning the negatives into positives. The girl’s have been doing a really good job of shifting their mindset after an error to help them win the next point. I think they demonstrated that well in the second set and we were able to gain some momentum to earn the win!

We have been working on building team chemistry, since we do have a young team, and I have been very proud of how they continue to encourage each other and work towards this goal.”

This Gold Team will find themselves with some more positive moments when they welcome Somerset to the Hawk’ Nest next Tuesday with q first serve starting at 5:00pm.

Way to GO LAKE!!
