The Pella Christian volleyball team ended a five-match losing streak Thursday night, sweeping Washington 3-0 on Senior Night.
While the Eagles earned the victory in straight sets, the contest was tight throughout. Pella Christian needed extra points to win the first set 28-26, before picking up set victories of 25-21 and 25-22 to improve to 5-10 overall. Mya Huisman and Laurel Roozeboom paced the offense with nine kills apiece. Huisman also had a team-high 15 digs and tied Nora Van Arendonk for a team-leading three service aces. Van Arendonk also contributed 12 digs, while Reagan Van Maanen had 14 assists. Senior Brynn Runner did a little bit of everything, recording seven kills, 13 assists, nine digs, an ace, and two block assists. Fellow senior Sophia Slagter led Pella Christian’s defense at the net, posting five block assists in the contest.
The Eagles are now off until competing at the Van Meter Invitational next Thursday at 4:30 pm.
