Greencastle falls to Owen Valley

Monday, October 13, 2008

SPENCER -- The Greencastle volleyball team had a rough time with Owen Valley Monday evening, falling to the Patriots in three games, 25-11, 25-18, 25-9.

"This was another disappointing loss," coach Trish Lowe said. "This was a possible sectional opponent with a good record. We must work hard here at the end of the season to prepare for the sectionals."

Mallory Miller led the Lady Tiger Cubs (5-25, 1-3 WCC) with 16 digs and 10 assists. Kayla Nobles led at the service line, going 10-for-10 with five points. Chelsea Samuels had eight kills and seven blocks.

The Greencastle JV also fell to Owen Valley, 25-13, 25-16, dropping its record to 3-19.

Over the weekend, the Lady Tiger Cubs were also in action, traveling to Cascade for the Cadet Invitational. Greencastle finished Saturday's action with a 1-2 record.

GHS fell to Covenant Christian 25-10, 25-15 and Guerin Catholic 25-21, 26-16. Their win came against Putnam County rival Cloverdale, 25-20, 16-25, 15-6.

"This was a great tourney for us," Lowe said. "We are trying to prep for sectionals and we got to do just that playing some different teams.

"We played Cloverdale in the third match and got the opportunity to avenge our earlier loss. I am happy with the play of our team at this stage of our season," she added.

Mallory Miller finished the day with 49 digs and 27 assists. Brooke Lewis led with 12 kills. Chelsea Samuels added 11 blocks. Samuels and Jordyn Lewis each had five aces.

Greencastle hosts Riverton Parke at 6 p.m. Thursday.
