The Morningside Mustang volleyball team was on their toes Tuesday night as they took home a victory against Dordt College. It was the last home game of the season and senior night for the five seniors on the team Miranda Christian, Anastasia Ott, Briana Schaeuble, and Lexi Welsh.
Coach Sarah Horn said before the game, “I expect this to be a great game. The last time we played these guys, it was at their place, and we came up short. I anticipate a lot of intensity tonight.”
That’s exactly what Coach Horn got. The Mustangs started out strong and never let up through the rest of the contest. The first set Morningside handled strongly with a 25-17 win. Another win for the Mustangs came in set number two with a 25-15 win. The girls ended the night by taking the third set 25-21.
Ott led the team with 12 kills on the night followed by Maggie Vondrak with 11 and Briana Schaeuble with 9.
Melissa Mounts had a great night setting with a .430 percentage.
Briana Schaeuble was all over at the front of the net blocking seven. She was also successful with tipping a lot of balls right behind the 10-foot line.
With this game being the last chance for the seniors to play on their home court, they went out with a bang. Many of them had great games, which is the way any athlete would want to end their career.
