Girls High School Volleyball Totino-Grace vs. Park Center

[Music] welcome to park center high school for northwest suburban conference volleyball action tonight it's the totino grace eagles here to take on the park center pirates hi i'm jay wilcox along with janae alderson former champlain park standout in janae this park center team a fairly veteran team they've won four matches a lot of familiar names in their lineup so you have a lot of players who have dealt with varsity volleyball for a while and they're kind of feeling good about their team this season yeah i just had to see that lineup every time you see a lot of new a lot of good names a lot of returners you just think they have experience on their side they know the game they don't have those jitters they're hitting her just to get the work done they obviously just don't get in those ruts that new teams do have as cetino they have a fresher team but hopefully we'll see that experience on their side light up and hopefully for the fresher team latino you just see that those jitters turn into a lot of energy on their side yeah grace definitely a younger group and they're also a little bit short-handed here tonight they've got four players who normally would be in the lineup who are not here for a couple different reasons here tonight so they've had to change some things up and and i think their coaches are are eager to see just how that looks here on the on the game floor tonight after doing it a little bit in practice yeah i was surprised to hear that but honestly that could go one of two ways you know you have people who are ready to step up to the plate show what they can do so you hope you have that and obviously on the other side you have people who are uncomfortable with the new moves and their positions so it could go either way tonight but i'm obviously excited to see if some girls step up in their positions and hopefully that's the case versus hino talk about key players in tonight's match starting with the eagles now we said they're a relatively young team overall but one of their most experienced players abby's here done some setting for them and also be used as an outside hitter tonight and just past the 1000 career set assist mark ford race she's definitely been a mainstay in their lineup these last few years and a senior for park center we're going to talk about nicole michala it's been kind of their go-to player offensively coach andrea emery talking about their team needing to get a little more aggressive on the attack side of things but mikala does lead them and kills and they want to get some good swings out of her tonight if they're going to come out on top in this one both teams feeling like they have a shot in this one again that grace with one win coming in park center with four but looking at a couple of common opponents this one looks like on paper anyway that it should be a pretty competitive match up it's the eagles and the pirates and it comes your way next year on ccx [Music] ccx media your source for

the crowd and it actually is a quite a large crowd very good student section for park center and coach andrea emery who's telling me that they've had actually really good support we were kind of speculating that kids are after last year not being able to come are kind of back into the scheme of things and excited to be at the matches here as tortino grace their one win coming in a tournament at mount west tonka when they swept fergus falls in two straight they had a tough one on monday they went five with spring lake park and they also went five with ossio early in the season which even though it's a loss is not a bad showing for an oscar team that's done against an oscar team that's done fairly well this year park center also played the orioles and they lost to them in four this week on monday but coach emery from park center was saying that in some ways it was a good sign that her team was really disappointed in how they played against osseo they felt like they you know that they could have done better and that that was an opportunity obviously they've not overall fared well against dossier through the years but they're kind of narrowed the gap and they felt like they could have done a you know even better job than maybe in that one as you see on the right there is the pirates head coach andrea emery her fourth season but she's telling us to 16th season and coaching in the program took over for her father and the olmstead as he was the former head coach and she's coached at pretty much every level of the team or of the high school program too so kind of been through all parts of it and on the other side for totino grace kelsey rice her second season she was we were asking about last year obviously last year was a weird year started late much shorter season she said it's technically my second season but in a lot of ways it feels like the first year just because last year was so crazy so hectic with all of the new covet rules that everyone was getting used to and and you know obviously much more relaxed i think this year coming into the season yeah i can only imagine with all of that those rules and regulations earlier i mean it's probably a breeze right now there's our starters look on the left is latino grace's lineup for tonight and again as we talked about briefly in the pre-game they are have had to switch things up because of some people being absent here tonight so they'll be playing a 5-1 rather than a 6-2 and some different backcourt players and we'll see how that goes for them and we set a pretty experienced group for park center lindsay lee their setter has been a mainstay in the program now for several years and uh it's great news this year when you have nine seniors i was asking coach emery are you you know a little bit worried about what that means for next year though because obviously it'll be a lot of new players and she said that you know the the ones who are on jv now and everything and some of the varsity ones who will be back they they realize that there's going to be some spots open next year so you you like to hopefully have that you know see that as an opportunity for those players to and to step up and claim those spots and and become solid varsity players and here we go abby's here serving it for totino grace as park center gets first opportunity there dug up by schaefer [Applause] pirates heading to the left side and tipped over nice job there by kaylie yeah that was a really good placement they're kind of just tucked in the waters as she tips it over there i mean you don't want to go a hard hit right at first and you're just kind of seeing where the open court is so that's kind of nice because later on that will open it up later for just some hard hits as the opponent of the posing side park center is on their heels so that was a really smart room to start the serve here for the pirates that one block but nice coverage behind it by taylor carlson for tg one right side there the tip near collision carlson scrambles back into place and they'll send it over tip to the outside blockers were a little late and the pirates win a long rally there yeah that was a lot of tipping back and forth but ultimately a power tip to the same spot from the previous play so it's gonna be interesting to see if tortino ever covers that spot up later up in this game lee to serve again here for the pirates and that was an easy opportunity there after the set was off target and put away so a three nothing lead here this one your eyes kind of light up here if you're kaylie elky is the overpass and she found a lot of room deep and that was one thing that uh coach rice was talking about that we have to kind of be disciplined in the back row because we got some players that aren't back then we saw an awful big gap there that they left and you have to kind of remember your spot you don't want to be thinking too much out there but at the same time they they have to kind of be concentrating on that part of it not have everybody looking to make plays out of their area carlson to serve here for tg as they get on the board [Applause] [Music] free ball chance here now for the eagles nice hustle by lee to get to that one and then the left-hander mikala drops it in for the pirates a great dig really helped to set that one up yeah and it looked like trouble at first um with that serve and kelsey did say that serving was going to be their strong point and they were out of system but they park center's block has been really impressive getting a lot of touches early in this game that's setting them up for great opportunities right now here's here getting a big swing at that one dug up there by blombergill [Music] gonna come back to zer again off the tape and good so abby's here getting some opportunities offensively no matter where she is on the court and they're certainly a go-to player the first one was dug up but this time got a little net luck there yeah you loving that that is a good look on your side for the night [Applause] so four to two pc is megan de zurich the junior will serve it here for grace [Music] [Applause] mikala cross court with that one and good hustle and they do get it over [Applause] [Music] and dougas trying to go cross court but missed and so the eagles to within 4-3 that was a really good hustle play and honestly really great placement when she came back without the play giving it to the setter and making her play the first ball and ultimately that led to not assessing play so good for on their end tough one to handle the hair chipped over the pirates got kind of fortunate that pass was very tight to the net and not much they could do with it and a couple of just keep it alive type plays there first by lee and then tipped over by abby bidwell [Music] and the block missed time there and that'll result in a kill for mckenna schaefer the freshman for totino grace yeah that ball was set out was that pretty high as well as the hitter being back row and so that block was just a little early that ball caught him on the way down [Music] and pushed to the corner there again park center having to scramble as dugas played it the pass was off target for lee and lee i think close to a ball handling error there but they say it was legal so mikala will serve [Music] and carlson's pass off target score the point for the pirates yeah and so it's good to see both sides getting that those serves in um obviously kelsey side patino they're doing really good with their serves and they're doing everything right but just seems like park center is getting those scrappy plays and just being ready for anything [Applause] tip to the outside but wide of the mark there by cabba yeah she's kind of going to the well there they've had two points there so far and honestly if that would have landed it looks like maybe total grace would have got it so hopefully they're picking up on that little spot there [Applause] here's dugus that one dug up by schaefer and nice job mcgeehan puts it away there for the eagles in uh coach rice talked about wanting to be you know the tempo a little bit quicker offensively and i thought that was maybe possibly their best example of it right there overpass here and put away by mcgeehan as she gets another opportunity the 6-2 junior and the eagles fighting back to tie it at seven yeah it looks like they're really working that libero blomberg and she's getting a little bit of frustration but she seems to be handling just all right [Applause] [Music] nice dig there and lee gets to it now dugus deep to the corner with that one [Applause] it does appear that they've been watching some footage as they've been just working that that right corner both short and deep either to push a hit or not but it just seems like they're going line all day today and that's great footage that's great play they just should keep doing it until it stops now they've really only missed once i mean the placement has been very good [Music] eagles coming middle there pretty well read now lee will go to dugas right side too long with that one didn't really get on top of that one just kind of drove it flat yeah there was no real approach it was kind of looked like she was a bit startled and it was also pretty low set so she kind of tried to hurry up her swing with no approach and sometimes i just just take that from a down ball and just go and live for another day [Applause] [Music] a five-second violation and the eagles are gonna take a timeout just appeared that she did not hear the whistle on that one and there is a five second violation if you do not serve within the five seconds given so looks like they took that role into play here quick discussion it just seemed like there was a little bit of uncertainty for the eagles what and that they just kind of paused and didn't uh didn't get back to action so quick time out to talk it over yeah and i i believe that was a really good time out i mean obviously kelsey saw i mean that's one of those one of those points where it's like you could have gotten it that was something that probably shouldn't have happened it's just a self-error so that's a really good time-out just to get our girls back in order just tell them to calm down one bit and just take it one point at a time because they are obviously in this game it's just a really good game back and forth so just get back there keep relying on their serves and just keep hustling away and on park centers and they just got to keep hustling keep doing what they're doing and obviously getting that right that line shot all the way in the corner and just keep working it so we'll see out of this timeout if that's actually ever covered that would be really cool to see [Music] [Applause] looks to be a bit of confusion i think to just checking lineups making sure everything's all right blomberg to serve here for park center and now the [Music] further discussion on the rotation here for grayson again this kind of gets back to what we were talking about some people in new spots tonight and and again they're a little bit short-handed yeah so it's kind of on kelsey as well she said that just keep in check keep an order just to basically to stay focused on your job and just make sure you just take each ball one at a time especially when you're in a new position like this but they seem to be handling it very well and blomberg with the serve and put it right on the line it was too close to to not play it there so dunsmore trying to get underneath and get her platform set there but couldn't quite do it yeah honestly if i was her i would have done the same thing because if it's that close in volleyball you have to play it and that's the rule so you just live for another day and that'll be another ace a little miscommunication there schaefer played it but it looked like they weren't sure who was going to take that one yeah and that's that communication earlier kelsey was talking about she said she says sometimes that they're servicing it's dicey and it's usually just just a lack of communication and that was a good one just call it out first but it looks like to be in that area yeah that violation there is that pass brought to zurich into the net she did her best with it but she almost kind of backed into the net there and so another point for the pirates as they go on a run here to lead 12-8 [Music] then blomberg serving that one into the net so eagles will get to serve back yeah i gave him a little bit of a break there but let's see if park center came back and also let's see if totina can get on a run with the serve and a good serve it is dugas though did a pretty good job with it [Music] tip toward the corner but that one is out as shaffer tried to give park center a dose of their own medicine there but just didn't quite hit it yeah it looks to be open so she honestly would have hit that in i think she might have just actually caught quirk center at their own game [Music] serving for park center nice dig by blomberg oh and then sliding under the net was lee so that's a safety thing there and so this couldn't stop her momentum yeah she'd hear her shoes screech across the floor but she tried to put the brakes on right there [Music] she tried her best and honestly that's all you can ask for [Music] [Applause] to be a net violation on number 12 on park center so abby bidwell she tried her best to hit that it was kind of a tight set she tried to get out of it the last second but looks like she touched it will come to the right with it and i'll be able to scrape that one off the tape and down so park center back up by three and kaylee will serve here for the pirates one of their captains along with lindsay lee good tough serve but the eagles stick with it then the block goes up and that'll be a point for park center you mentioned earlier they've been pretty active blocking and that time did a very nice job denying it yeah their block has been solid all night and even in that that set was inside obviously totally working with the center that is new so with the inside set that middle doesn't have far to go so that was an easy block tried to have zero attack there but the timing wasn't quite there and she ends up driving it out you could see that they just weren't on the same wavelength in terms of timing there [Applause] oh i'm sorry but it appears to be a touch off the block [Applause] in high school you cannot challenge a play so that's what we're going with but very close dugas put her hand up yeah i mean it kind of changed direction but i mean i believe in the rest so here we go totino dugus comes to lee and then back for dugus that one is too long so grace trying to get a little run going here they're back within two now at 15 13. dessert to serve [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] mikala with a swing there and good hustle can they get it over oh yes eagles thought they had a point there and then a swing for kylie woola but instead a big point grain park center's way that one that point i thought was over but they stayed with it yeah i'm pretty sure wally would like to have that back but [Applause] just gotta keep going and there goes another acer park center 17-13 now for the pirates [Applause] bidwell serving it up and one but not two there and how the eagles to within three again [Applause] yeah and it feels like in this gym like park center's kind of taken away from it but it is only 14 13 and that is a quick free run so we'll see where typical goes it is anyone's game [Applause] [Music] dugas again tipping deep schaefer getting to it and here's here for the kill for great yeah evans was just a little lake in that block and honestly it just kind of snuck through because her left hand on that middle block was just not fully pressed over so it just resulted in the ball ending on their side [Music] [Applause] tipped over here by zere then a joust at the net and that's going to be a net violation against park center so the eagles now to within one at 17-16 as schaefer's had a nice little run serving here and yeah just like that they're within one [Applause] [Music] so michelle with a swing there schaefer getting to it nicely and they attack right side and voila putting it away here for grace and they tie things up at 17. timeout taken by park center the momentum really has flipped a couple times back and forth here and right now definitely sitting with tortino grace yeah i imagine each huddle is a little bit different than the last one uh as far as 10 months as parker took this one but i mean i can just imagine that parks center's thinking just get back into their game tipping to that to that blind corner for each person as well as just getting that middle blocker to get all the way there a little bit earlier she's just a tad late but on the totino side you obviously have a lot of players that are feeling good they're playing out of their position and they're still winning so you do have that little extra motivation of they're still doing this so i'm pretty sure they're just pretty much common nerves in there just telling them to finish this game [Applause] schaefer eager to get back in and serve pirates had had things kind of going their way for a lot of the first set but now you can see their uh concern on their faces a little bit more here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lee won't be able to get to that one as dugas couldn't get that pass up and grace takes the lead back now at 18-17 it's an ace for yeah it schaefer seems he serves it pretty good back there here's evans with a swing and nice recovery and zero will send it over and come back for evans there [Music] nice block by evans [Applause] now dugus ranging over to get it and we'll drop it in good job to stay with that ball and not try to do too much he had to back pedal and just putting it into the middle of the court was the best thing to do there instead of trying too hard to do something perfect with it so tied up at 18. here's here off the block lee coming to dougas is that tipped i thought it might have been yes so it will be a park center point there you are something a little bit more urgency out of park center taking swings that are need to be taking swings at the ones that they need that are green lighted and it's taking a little bit off and now they got an ace nicola delivers an ace 20 to 18 now in favor of park center [Music] that ball just dropped [Music] [Applause] oh three ball chance here for the pirates now as dugas had it blocked now zeer will tip evans was there to meet it dugas to the outside big scramble point here see who's gonna take it come to evans and she puts it away in the middle yeah that was a long play of a lot of scrappiness it was kind of just whoever's team got to set up first and park center was that team they used that middle very quick set made the blockers be a little late and she used those hands just to make a bit of a discombobulation on the other side [Applause] here's here with the attack evans had to go right back up and just swat that one over schaefer did a nice job getting underneath that one got a decent pass up and that ball is good wow cross court that was a good shot there you go look at the back and forth kind of pinball and then to the car [Music] [Applause] being honest i didn't think it was in the first time and i'm not so sure again [Music] go to your bread and butter when you're in trouble that's in dougas right now earlier she did learn from her mistake on the right side of just going for a ball that was not a green light and now she's taking swings on the ones that matter and it's put into places on the swings she doesn't have the opportunity so she's playing smart volleyball right now [Applause] here's here and another point for park center they go up 23-19 [Applause] [Music] time-out taken by grace great sorry park center's block is doing very well right now no matter which middle's in they are really just kind of pounding on the fact that tortino grace's setter is a little new and her balls are more inside so they don't have to go as far so they're really harping on that and pressing their hands over pretty far what do you think yeah they have done a nice job and evans has been a big part of that here of late [Music] pirates i think smelling victory here in the first set but still not over 23-19 yeah after that last timeout tortilla they go on a 3-0 run but it is a different scenario when you're two points away from winning rather than three points away from tying 17-17 so and especially with the fans that we talked about earlier they are doing great they're doing some waves in here we got the boys cheering for every point it is loud so the atmosphere is definitely on park center side right now as you can see [Applause] dugas with the serve and a great effort to get to it and then schaefer will send it over great hustle by carlson off the block here blomberg gets to it but then put away at the net by mcgee and by carlson's hustle i didn't think there was much chance she was going to be able to get to this it was not a good pass into that padding oh boy that is a tremendous point give carlson a ton of credit there [Music] see if the eagles can kind of build on that down 23-20. [Music] here's here putting it away for grace that one was one of those that you know questionable whether it might have been out but lombard was in a spot where she wasn't gonna guess at it and now the eagles force park center into a timeout is the only way you can come back from four down is you know chip away and they've gotten the first two there to within two again at 23.21 yeah i really do like this timeout too after just a play where it could have been out could have been in and it's just a lot of frantic plays right now from park center so i just feel like that was a great time out on her part not to get them too close as they are very close to winning and now they're just gonna convert calm her players down tell her just take one pass and just get two good plays basically just one good kill one good block as their block has been doing great all night so that's obviously the perfect scenario and toteen obviously has some very good very good standing after timeouts too so hopefully they do what they do best so it's a close one i don't know what's gonna happen i'm not gonna lie [Music] dunsmore with the serve here for grace [Applause] and a strong block put up pirates had to scramble to get that one over now they work a slide to the outside [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here's here and that one is in romberg last time chose to play one that was up high this time hannah got caught watching a little bit and it drops right in this one it was definitely in not even real close so a chance to tie it up now for totino grace [Applause] but that serve will be way too long and now park center with a set point chance [Applause] [Music] [Music] bidwell checking back in blomberg to serve [Applause] lee will dump it over near collision there but they keep it up [Music] [Applause] bidwell had that one stuffed by mcgee and that block all by herself up there she kind of just read where she was going and put all all of her over the net with those long arms and that great reach so great on her part solo block [Applause] still a set point chance dugus ooh that was close three ball chance here for grace as they try and tie it up to slide and put away by mcgee yeah and honestly very brave on totina's part we have not seen the slide at all tonight but they decided to break it out to tie it up and that it's a great move as that's going to kind of decept their blockers as they've been kind of kind of just being beat by the players kind of blockers today so that's great on their part to getting them moving on a slide set oh here serving that one into the net so park center now with a another set point chance that one's gotta hurt but xerox just gotta get back over it and get a one pass up to the set so that's all gonna be good on her it's probably ideal if they serve to her but they just move someone else and quickly put away by mcgee and then the eagles tie it back up great great spot it looks like every perfect pass right now is going to the middle so and it's working very well carlson with the serve here for the eagles [Applause] chipped over and an overpass there but good coverage behind it [Music] good block there again the eagles have upped their block game of late here and then tipped over good work by dessert there with the left hand and now it's latino grace with the set point chance oh this is a good game here we go just oh and it's really nice because she didn't go into the pocket she went behind her so that's a great spot on the setter free ball and it come left with oh and let's see and that's violation against grace so park center will tie it back up [Applause] a tight game and good on the rest they're calling everything and they're doing really good tonight so props to them oh and wide with that one so both teams have kind of traded some serving errors at a crucial time here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to zurich to serve here for tg [Music] [Applause] and nicola puts it away and we play on yeah she found that back left-handed hitter also the block really wasn't ready for that as park center has been outside heavy a bit as in the middle of the set but way to switch it up and go back and make those blocker gas again here's bidwell with the serve oh [Music] now lee coming back to mikala wow somehow they got that one over this reaction time evansville will put it away park center back in front and once again back to their bread and butter just go in line and seeing what happens and it has been pretty good for them so far [Applause] it's also nice to see a smile on totino's faces as they get into this next point [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and the pirates pull out the victory in the first set and wow what an opening set it was back and forth down the stretch and park center wins it 29-27 [Applause] so 29-27 pirates take this opening set we'll be right back here to park center high school great action so far and more to come [Music] when you adopt a shelter pet you discover their unique mix of all kinds of traits where did wiley go where's wylie ah there she is paw do you remember being an ancient wolf do you ever feel the call of the wild you're a renegade cop and i'm a con woman with nothing to prove but together we could really solve this murder they're a little bit of a lot of things but all of them are pure love [Music] ccx media is the first place you go for local

pirates pulling out a thriller in the first set over tortino grace and it's kind of family night here for us at ccx and we're going to explain that a little bit latino grace coach kelsey belial and our director isaac rice meeting a few years back got to know each other and just this last weekend friday night they became marriage so now it's coach rice on the sideline for totino grace congratulations to them and uh obviously nice opportunity for them to be here tonight on the same night isaac's went out our truck punching up the buttons giving all these great pictures and running a smooth show as always and so congratulations to them and the family night part doesn't just stop here either on the other side andrea emery the park center head coach there is her dad randy olmsted former head coach for the pirates and right in front of him is cindy olmsted her mom who has been an employee with ccx out at our front desk and helps to program the channel and does a little bit of everything for us so it's uh we haven't had an opportunity quite like this i don't think ever to have you know such close family ties on both sides of the net here tonight so it's a special one for that and also obviously it's a special one because it was 29-27 in that first set and uh we are looking forward to more great action throughout the rest of the night park center has the serve to begin our second set [Applause] here's here cross court and we'll put it away and even though they didn't end up pulling that set out i thought latino grace looked a lot sharper and more confident as it went on i mean i think they're feeling pretty good even though they're you know deflated that they lost that one at the end but i i thought their play improved quite a bit from the beginning of that set to the end overpass here and schaefer will send it over park center has used a tip very effectively and here that time a swing but into the net i'm sure grace talked about that in the huddle janae that you know we've got to be aware they're doing an awful lot of chipping maybe adjust things just a little bit yeah i believe so too especially just there's just a lot of adjustments to do for the second game obviously you have to get that line shot down as well and just there's little tweaks just to get them over to that hump zero sending it over lee a one-hand set there and bidwell into the tape with that one yeah they've been handling torchino grace's serves pretty well some are just a little tight but i believe lee's doing pretty good as far as handling the tight balls with her one-handed sets which is very impressive so that one just didn't work out that time carlson a good serve lee altades had to play that one with the left hand not exactly the way you draw it up but they'll get the point out of them yeah i think just right now totino grace is just feeling it out again as far as just being next to each other and to your point earlier yes they definitely getting more comfortable especially as they're starting to feel where each other they are in the court how new everything is and honestly it just gets better from here with their new lineup [Applause] just missing actually a pretty good idea i think they're michela there was room but couldn't quite hit the line with that one yeah very impressive actually both teams with zero hitting those those cross court corners and also park centers going for those line corners it looks like both of their coaches have really been harping on some just finding open spots on the court [Music] [Applause] the out for dugus off the block [Applause] and that pass not kind of an in-between one to try and play for the setter there not much you could do with it [Music] so three to three is mikala the left-hander serving it up here and can carlson do it again that one wasn't quite as tough as that one late in the first set that she ran down evans pushing it to the outside [Music] dug up by mikala now dugus off the block pass goes backward there but they will get it over [Applause] lee coming to dougas had it blocked [Applause] sent over by the libero blomberg and a long rally goes to tino grace's way as they'll end up winning it four to three or taking a four to three lead i mean yeah that was just a long one and you saw just a little bit of some fatigue on that last hit just lack of communication so that's all right just keep going and look forward to the next point oh and evans hammers that over pass away she was ready hunters pass getting out front and uh evans was right on top of it oh wait a minute looks like that's violation yeah and only an ace for the eagles a double turn of events another look at that east service they didn't have that corner covered and that'll be another ace as it's grazing that and then google's reaching for it late six three eagles yeah i think this is exactly what kelsey toltino to tina's coach was talking about earlier that they have strong serves and it's coming into play right now and another ace there [Applause] [Applause] eight lead this is about the biggest lead either teams had i think tonight there's carlson getting down to dig that one up [Applause] dugus will send it over here's here with the swing evans stayed with it another block put up they get it over again and another one of those long rally points [Music] pirates there with the block again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] dugus trying to go down the line i think it was wide of the antenna anyway so point for grace nine to three yeah this is a big lead for totana grace and they're really handling park center's block way more they have one person in the back handling the deep coverage and they're really covering up front so they really did learn from their first game mistakes and evans misfires and i think what you talked about too they're they're taking advantage of some tough serves i mean they've got 10 points and i'd say probably five of them have been either directly off aces or tough serves that that led to points yeah that tortilla grace was not kidding when they said they have some strong servers and that is schaefer is really just going back there being consistent and putting it on them each time with just a little bit and she you also see she's playing with the deep range short range and just kind of playing with the servers as well it is a serving is kind of a game sometimes in that way and so she's kind of just taking it into her own way and controlling it from the back of the serving line so it's really good to see that on the serving part but i just feel like in park center's huddle it's just going to be taking a deep breath getting a high ball in that first touch and just going with what you know and getting back to that deep corner shots and making sure they use their block and just pressing over a little harder to get those finishes on those blocks as well [Applause] it's hard to say if they kind of relaxed a little after winning that first set or if i think it's really just more totino's playing well i think tatina really just thought i could play with them after they came back from a huge deficit and on top of that they are out of their lineup i mean that's just an extra boost of confidence that everyone loves especially in volleyball i think in any sport when you're out of rotation and you're just playing with your friends and you're just looking at your teammates like let's do this together that's when you really learn the power of how strong of a team you are [Music] schaefer will have the serve here and see if they can continue the role it's been all tg and set two so far they've scored seven straight lead at 10 to three oh a little bit of a wet spot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] looks like we're good to go here as they'll give shea for the whistle and signaling had too long to think about it i think right yeah a lot of people do say when you hold the ball for too long and kind of gets in your head especially that time out you wonder if park center did ice them so now they're on the serving end dugus right down the line there schaefer had to play it now [Applause] [Music] carlson eagles will come out to zere [Music] now it's blomberg taking a swing but missing the line with that one and eagles up by seven again yeah oh looks like we have a new outside [Music] [Applause] johnny ogima coming in for park center here [Music] here's evans off the block great effort to get to it evans though another block there deer are sending it deep now blomberg tracks it down they'll get a chance off this free ball ogima getting down for a one-hand dig there [Applause] oops here wow she did a good job with a very difficult ball there and lee working to set her dump there yeah that was a smart play obviously a lot she saw a lot of her players were kind of hectic frantic as well as none of them were transitioned they were trying to get back but she kind of just took matters into her own hands and saw that open court blomberg serving here for the pirates [Music] lee coming to bidwell and eagles stay with it now it is here putting that one away yeah i gotta give props to zer all night she's been finding that back corner cross corner hole where it seems like park center is not really adjusting to that but it has been going there all night as far as getting that deep corner so props to her for getting that and having that down packed as a shot that is a honestly a big 10 d1 shot bidwell misfiring there didn't get her shoulders rotated there that one was the angle this wasn't there [Applause] all eagles again dunsmore serving with a 13-5 lead [Music] off the block and put away alfie with the point for park center and they've got to kind of be looking to chip away now still down by seven but [Music] lee to serve here [Applause] and that pass tight to them yeah then there'll be a point for the pirates [Music] [Applause] and yeah that really just comes into center knowledge obviously they still working at the lineup as far as satina grace but they're doing a great job as far as our new lineup [Music] [Applause] [Music] and put away there by mcginn [Music] now that they're playing around with that middle mcgean a lot they're going slides they're going back one some call them a b some call them a back one but they're just putting there a lot of places to confuse that blocker on their side and it did help and that block was a little late used her too but then we got a miss serve right here [Applause] will serve here for pc down by six they won the first set in a thriller 29-27 and there's carlson to track it down [Music] lee will come out to mikala but a nice block there by mcgeehan yeah and it just seems that carlson is not letting any ball die and it always starts with her hustle played just to get let them live for another day and she just let her block do the rest of the work so great job on carlson's part tonight her hustle is amazing schaefer actually getting that block there she was up with mcgeah here's dugus and that one will drop in so park center right now the best they've been able to do is kind of trade points so they're still down by six but kind of at that point in the set with the score that it is that now they need to kind of make a little run if they're going to have a chance to win this sat [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] not going to happen that way as schaefer gets the kill for tortino grace that's good on schaefer's part she did see that the block was inside and that's still a good set block but the outside hitter just didn't have her right hand pressed over all the way and she just used that tool all day zurich serving for the eagles [Applause] [Music] mikala off the block carlson another dig [Applause] [Music] dugus sending it over as zurich with the overhand pass there [Applause] evans pushing it deep and that'll be a point as zer couldn't keep it alive yeah it seemed like both of them were trading deep deep push shots on that line shot there and it just there it is as she picked it up but then park center exchanged it and they got the better end of that one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] park center trying to build a little momentum they're down 16-11. yeah jugis is really making this block kind of to her advantage she sees that middle blocker is not coming in all the way and she kind of tools that outside walker's hands [Applause] good effort to get that one over now dugus another swing zier gets a good pass up and it ultimately leads to the kill for wallop and it seems like all it did the same thing on her and though that block is still way inside but it seems like they are kind of putting it to their advantage setter lee is a bit of a shorter blocker so she only has her hands over that so she really has to be disciplined with pushing it all the way over [Music] [Applause] [Music] here's here and off the block and they continue to go to zero when they get her at front row and sometimes even in the back row [Applause] [Music] three ball chance here for the eagles they got a little bunched up and didn't really fully get into that one now dugus tipping to the middle yeah dugas had that little bit of a rest on the back row as you saw uh connie came in for her for the back row just kind of giving her a breather and it does seem to have done her good as she came in here and got three straight kills four straight kills for the park center so parks had a pirate so good to see the coaches just really kind of playing around with that playing time [Music] [Applause] [Music] carlson putting that pass on target zeer had that one dug up evans will send it over [Applause] and schaefer getting a swing from the back row there and hammers it yeah the eagles are really playing around with their sets now they're getting way more comfortable they're a middle is starting to get backstage in the slides and they're also getting middle sets and now they're just getting that back row really on target as the set starting to get in place for each hitter so they're really communicating on what their hitters want from the setter lugo was a tough serve to get this point started ends here smokes another one home and latino grace looking very much like they're on the way to evening this up here 20 to 12. [Applause] [Applause] and was there a touch on that one no it's just too long so grace will get the point yeah sometimes you love a good swing and a miss when it's out [Applause] lugo serving here trying to keep her team on a good roll oh and there's lee attacking that second ball there and they were caught off guard so scores the point but at this point it kind of feels like it's just prolonging it a little bit for park center you want to at least build a little momentum because it's looking like it's going to be a tall order to try and come back in this set but lumber too long [Applause] [Music] yeah and along with that motive motivation getting that ball rolling as far as park center it is cool to see that lee is switching up her setters he's also switching up going over on two and what that really does is it kind of confused the eagles blockers and makes a little more room for their for park setters hitters and lee's hitters just to get a little more room when the blocker is being a little late being a little confused as to where she's gonna set it if she's gonna go over on two so she's kind of just setting it up the blocker setting up her hitters just to have a better game in the future whether this goes to the eagles or not should just get that momentum for them and we'll see where this game goes you never know yeah that's the thing too you like you're saying that you know even if they don't have time to come back in the second set you still want to set the tone for the next one you want to you know play a couple good points in a row and just sharpen up heading into the next set or whether you're you know whichever side you are it's definitely going to be interesting to see what comes out of this timeout obviously park center's time out and we'll just see exactly what put into place what exactly good changes obviously you kind of just want them to calm down on the park center side just get one good touch get that high and just kind of rework go back to your basics just go outside middle right side and just tell them to swing hard and swing high and get that confidence back for the next set [Music] anna dunsmore serving here for grace oh and a nice block there as mcgehen was ready there single block got up and denied it so 10 point lead for tg yeah mcgean is doing it all she is blocking she is doing slides she's doing back ones she's doing one she's kind of just being the one all be all when she's up there as the middle hitter another tough serve there and there is mcgeehan to put that one away and as tight as that first set was all the way through this one has been different casino grace pretty much dominating [Applause] see if they can close it out here and even things up bidwell too long with that one and that will be set number two going in the books for totino grace as they win it 25 we said they played better and better as that first set went on and they kind of control set number two so we're even up now after the pirates pulled out a thriller in the first latino grace rolling in set two of the third setters up next year on ccx [Music] i tell my son i love you every single day now my dad has never said that to me not because he doesn't love me but because culturally it was uncomfortable for him now that he's a grandfather he says i love you to my son every time he sees him my advice to all the fathers out there forget the cultural restrictions they grow up way too fast for you to waste even a single precious moment [Music] [Applause] park center won the first set in the thriller and then totino grace rolls in set two so we are even up at 1-1 as we go to set number three here at park center high school thanks for joining us for northwest suburban volleyball on ccx's latino grace's abby zier will serve here to begin the third [Music] [Applause] and another nice block by mcgee and as she's patrolling the middle there and has done a very nice job especially in that second set of now to start the third [Music] good strong serve there lee sends it over but carlson is ready and here's mcgeah getting a swing [Music] schaefer now will put it away for grace yeah that was a really nice play on totino's part you have mcgeehan who's been a powerhouse in the middle going around on that slide here which splits that blockers they makes them think a little bit and you have that blocker kind of just walking over cause she's unsure if that outside's gonna be set that's just as a late block and this time at schafer getting the block and she just got up i don't think she was expecting that tip but able to get her hands in position just in time there three-nothing eagles there so far anyway kind of picking up where they left off in set two [Music] [Applause] carlson on target with that pass and schaefer pounding it home and boy they just things are just a lot smoother for them than it was in the beginning of that first set yeah honestly i was just about to comment like their approaches everything just seems more aggressive more confident their setter looks like she just knows what she's doing she knows the hitters very well and what they like to be set so it really did change the tone from set one to now and we talked about how that it was interesting when we asked coach kelsey about how's your serve and that was one thing that she had no no question about right away said yeah we're we're pretty good at that and it's i think that's been a big factor here too that one of course just as we say that a touch too long but it was close enough to really make him think so that's still even though it ends up being out it's not a bad serve there [Applause] so five to one pirates were very much into it and their crowd was very much into it but right now kind of facing a little bit of uh adversity here see if they can come back and schaefer's tip will be good for a point for the eagles and they go back up by five that was a great tip but on top of that you did have two players that are next to the tip for park center it just looks to be that communication is starting to be a key factor here as things start to break down just a little bit but there's still a lot of a game left to play [Music] back for zer and she will put it away for the eagles again they've been able to well i mean once you make that first pass better than they were early you can use more a little more variety in your offense and you coming at that that they've definitely been able to do that [Applause] here's carlson to serve [Applause] mikala with a swing there but it's dug up and then nice attack by desert there on that second ball and it's eight to one eagles right now seemingly can do no wrong obviously we know though in this sport momentum can change in a hurry yeah and you can definitely tell there's some confidence building with the setter has not has not gone over on two all night and decides to do it now obviously we're in favor for her team and obviously going to confuse some park center blockers as well just as lee was doing earlier grace has served well but that time carlson with a serving error so pirates trying to get something going here they played very well in the first set but struggled in the second and so far struggling again in the third [Music] [Applause] [Music] to serve here for the grace [Applause] lee will come to dugas and [Applause] had a net violation against tg there not gives parks center a break and honestly you just take those breaks and you start to just kind of fixate start to calm down on the controllables you kind of just go into the serving hopefully it serves it you get your passing back in order just start from the beginning schaefer will send it over lee out to two guests with the left hand and that left tan from the dugus has been pretty much killing them all night so she's been really going back to her but lee has been going back to her bread and butter here and it has been serving all right so they are going back to the basics trying to get back into this game but there is those controllables you kind of want to see those serves in you want to get that consistency down so you can kind of ride that wave get back into this game for park center so still a lot of game to play still but just those little minute things that i'm pretty sure the coach is hoping will get a little better over the game [Music] yeah that one was honestly just a bit of miscommunication and set just a little bit inside she took an approach wasn't all the way on top of it and just kind of went for it some of those balls would just have to live for another day and pass it over oh and another location there the eagles saw a point for park center [Music] good overlap on the serve and now trying to make sure they've got this sorted out all right [Applause] seems like they got it back in order [Music] oh oh same thing again timeout gonna be taken by totino grace yeah that's two two big breaks for clark center right now and that's where it just comes in again we're a new lineup kind of fresh that's some sold some of those points that start to sneak into this third set but i'm pretty sure if they just clean that up and they get back into it they'll get back in their rhythm but for park center that's a big break yeah those are the kind that are frustrating when you really just give them free points like that and uh right now coach kelsey getting on him a little bit but at the same time you know you wanna you wanna get it back to confident too and obviously they know that they've had some lineup switches and all of that people may be being used more tonight or more in different spots than they're used to but she did say they were you know really receptive to it and just kind of took the attitude of you know okay coach whatever we need whatever you need me to do i'll do it and and that's obviously what you're hoping to see but right there you got to get that cleaned up because that was just a couple of free points for pc make a lot of serve [Applause] this time zero chipping it over dugus to the floor to dig it up [Applause] [Music] zier will take a swing this time and it was tipped yes off the block so the grace eagles get the point break that little bit of momentum for park center yeah and you'd love to see that after a time out if you're totino just that confidence back a big heavy swing from your outside and just that get some ground on your feet and remember we're in this game and we got a long game to go still lugo the serve [Music] and come right side with it there and this fire gary krieger wasn't quite ready for that one it looked like so three-point lead here for grace dugus to serve [Music] are getting a swing but blomberg is there to dig it and ball handling there on eagles as figure kind of reach back for that when you got a palm under it yeah i guess this is kind of that newness too as kelsey said earlier they are running a 5-1 so obviously they haven't had a right side hitter back there before there's always two setters on the right side five one means that three so oh that'll land in as an ace it wasn't too long ago we talked about momentum can switch in a hurry in this sport and boy is it right now park center backed within one [Applause] in the game of volleyball the ball touches any part of the line it is in but that is a questionable one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and they go quick there to mcgee and then she'll put it away varying their speed and that as we talked about earlier as uh coach rice saying we want to you know get our pace picked up at times we want to have the option to go quick and exactly what we saw there [Applause] and a little luck never hurts too does that serve scrape the net and drop in for dunsmore for an ace [Music] [Music] and that'll be in for another ace that time park center they didn't communicate real well on that one and those are the kind you kind of hate to see a ball that was not all that close you when in doubt you got to play though [Applause] tough pass there but lee tipping it over now zere off the block and good deer at times has tried to you know a little too hard to to attack and i thought that was a smart play there [Applause] five point lead now for grace again they were dominating this third set called park center got a little run going crosstalk that'll be good nice placement there that is a really high level shot just drops right back there in that back line goals are right over the top of the blockers it's a very good shot very high level shot and it's just one more one point at a time for park center right now just chipping away at each point yeah great shot by kaley they're getting up and over the block and well-placed [Music] and speaking of well-placed zir putting that one right into the corner yeah zir has that back corner down and that's very impressive because it's very intentional very consistent and at this point you're just kind of thinking is park center going to move that way when she's up there but we'll see as the time goes on [Music] zero to serve here for grace they lead it by five or even at one set a piece oops they were looking slide there but a little off on the communication [Applause] and put away there by the pirates did well and bid will kind of did the same thing in the in the middle which is a little harder as it's a quick position and she just lived for another day stayed on the ground and went for that corner as seen earlier by zier lee will serve her team within four they are for as slow of the start as they have in this set they're very much back in it and now make it three [Music] [Applause] [Applause] a little off on the set there but play goes on and then some uncertainty there bidwell kind of reached late for that ball and the gray's kind of fortunate to get a point out of that because they weren't exactly clean on their side of the net on that one either yeah it was just a little bit of lack of communication again still looking all at each other as the ball is high in the air so obviously here to clean it up soon oh and just too long there bidwell i think the right idea with trying to place that one where she did but just didn't quite keep it in so back to a five-point lead now for tortino grace abba coming back out [Applause] carlson serving here for grace here's mikala off the block they'll come back for zer [Applause] [Music] schaefer now getting a swing and blomberg's pass on target [Applause] safer will try again this time tipping to the line but it's dug up [Music] it's here with a nice dig there and nice the other way as well by lee long rally here and trying to dump it over was to zurich but didn't quite get enough on it and park center wins an emotional point there and an important point for them in this spot too yeah that just puts park center back within four give them a little confidence too and give them a big break after a long rally oh and a great serve sets that one up as the overpass put away by bidwell and so now 18 15. yeah it seems like serving has been the name of the game tonight for each side seems like both of them get on a good run both of them have good strong servers on the back line and it's just who does it consistently the most oh park center would like to have that one again trying to attack that ball probably would have been better off getting it to her setter and attacking from there but hindsight's 20 20. zurich with the serve here for grace [Applause] here's nicholas waking up for it yeah sometimes you as a setter you love to go back to the person that just made the mistake honestly just to get their confidence back up to show as a teammate you believe in them it doesn't matter if you make a silly mistake or not we just need you in the game for the next point [Applause] oh mix up there for grace [Music] all set to no one there and now pirates within two time out touches that has been a back and forth night all except for set two but now it's just kind of going back to the bases again obviously park center has been sticking in there got a couple good breaks with that out of rotation little splurge in the middle there and from there they really capitalized on it so good for them they really just took that as this is our point this is our night and they're just going back to that back back line on the serve they're taking their time and they're really putting it on them just as totino has been doing with them with their serve on the back line really it's whoever is getting back there first and being consistent with the serve putting it on who they need to and taking that ball from there as well as they're utilizing their middles too so each team is doing great and it's great game back and forth within two it's anyone's game at this point jay yeah angry park center i think is they're serving down the stretch of this third one has been a little bit better i mean they were not necessarily in terms of percentage of getting them in play but just a little bit putting a little bit more pressure on grace serving the ball tougher and maybe at particular players that they want to serve at finding their spots so did well with the serve and dropped in there nicely a little change of pace by wolof eagles first to 20 here 20 to 17. bach was just a little bit late pass tight to the net there and not lee not able to make anything out of it so 21-17 now grace yeah lee did the best she could and as honestly as a middle hitter you kind of just have to read that your setter is in trouble and then go from there and follow her and get that hit nicola i will score it for park center and there to within three [Applause] and mikala back to the service line here for the pirates [Music] [Applause] zeer skipping it off the block there and that violation perhaps annette was shaking enough mark center it was a slightly delayed call but boy i looked down and that was really [Music] so a shaking lead for tortino grace says lugo to serve [Music] duga sending it over [Music] good block for the pirates eagles will try it again and that one was out way wide and deer trying to cut it across court instead hits it in the net so three-point lead here for tortino grace but park center dugus back to serve [Music] [Applause] [Music] zeer this time getting a good swing and knows what to do with that one 23-19 yeah that was a great pass to set it up in the center really did a lot it was a good pass it was a little off and the setter really worked to get back there got under it and honestly did a side set all the way outside so it's great set up on all parts and zero just again going back to the one person that made mistake get your get that set of back confidence in that hitter and look to be a great swing since the year looks to be back so grace dominated early in this set park center fighting back hard but now the eagles in a good spot here up 23-19 obviously we saw in the first set it's not over till it's over but obviously you'd rather be uh the team with 23 to your name right now and for park center you have to just think i mean it's easier said than done but you have to just be thinking one point at a time we can you know we can win one point then we can add another to it trying to think about getting you know six in a row or whatever is hard but yeah and it does seem to be after [Applause] whichever one has taken that timeout they really capitalized on what the coach has said so it's going to be interesting to see what park center does after this timeout and as you said in the first set you really don't know what happens at the point 23 so it'll be interesting dunsmore with the serve schaefer digs it up uh we're gonna have a net violation again against park center ouch that's a tough one we talked about the free point earlier on on the serve that grace gave up and a couple of net violations now and a bad timing for that for park center and dunsmore we'll try and close them out here in this second or excuse me third set [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] zurich kind of covers her mouth like i can't believe i did that yeah it was a good great idea she had her blockers full she had a hole for going for that power play just didn't quite get it over blomberg serving for park center we'll work the slide here and there's mcgee putting it away in style in this third set and tatino grace will prevail winning it by a score of 25-20 so the eagles after losing the first set on a tight one win sets two and three the fourth set coming your way next here on ccx [Music] when we adopt a shelter pet we discover they're a unique mix of all kinds of things come on drill spot on this last one ah there it is [Music] you're going with it leo [Applause] there are a little bit of a lot of things [Music] but they're all pure love [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and welcome back here good look at what we've seen a couple of pretty exciting first three sets here tonight uh the first one was a thriller that park center pulled out grace dominated the second and then the third was closer they end up winning at 25-20 so on the road to tino grace one win on the season coming in and short-handed here tonight i think i mean obviously there's a long way to go they haven't won anything yet but i think they have to feel pretty good about the way they've stepped up here tonight after a slow start and also something that here's a slide work there for mcgee and they've also kind of taken park center's crowd out of this i think too which earlier on it was very loud in here pirate students are all over the place and they haven't had as much to get excited about lately [Music] nice block by mcgee and pirates though stay with it [Applause] [Music] schaefer with a swing but dug up by blomberg and there's mcgee in another block way earlier on it was evans on the other side of the net that was uh getting a lot of blocks and now mcgeehan is really ranging over and doing some nice work yeah mcgee has been all over the place tonight as well as really that opening rally was a long one and it's honestly the person that wins it gets that little bit of bite of confidence so here comes tortino ending it on a block too and mcginn [Applause] [Music] [Applause] timing wasn't great there but they end up getting the point as she did a good job tipping that ball and that's something that i think is hard for players a lot of times is to kind of recognize that okay i can't attack this full on because the timing isn't there but let's just still keep the play alive and it's still a good play to make that kind of attack instead of swinging away and maybe putting it into the mat [Applause] lee will come to make a law and another block for grace yeah and to your point earlier just now yeah the tortino has kind of taken over this blocking game now as it was in the first set park center was really kind of had their number but now to tina's gain that confidence and they're going side to side getting blocks touches on each hitter and that does get in your head a little bit as a hitter and park center so we'll see where it goes from here zero too long with that one so park center again they started slow in the second and third sets he would like to change that had a collision there for par for tortino grace still got the ball over eventually and they get a point for schaefer not the way you draw it up to have two players literally run right into each other but they they're a brief moment of panic they stayed with it though yeah you hate to see as a coach when you run into each other and players but you love to see them working out like that so great communication onto tina's part dugus and she'll get to kill i was just thinking me earlier on we were seeing dugas you know get a lot of good swings and tipping to the corners and kind of haven't been able to get it to her nearly as much as the match has gone on yeah it does seem like dugas has been taken out of this a little bit um and also it doesn't seem like she's doing as many shots maybe just trying to get back into her game again and maybe just get back into your fundamentals but it would be good to see that switch up so that the defensive totino can kind of get a different look and there it is love to see that going line and kind of giving to tina that bit of a head space that will she go line will she go class and she does a really good job of turning her shoulder and flipping her shoulder and going down line and not showing it to the last second so confuse the blocker is confused the defense good on her part [Music] it will serves up an ace and park center evens it up at 4-4 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and make it two in a row as the pirates take the lead and i just mentioned that a moment ago i kind of had the feeling that they were they needed to do whatever they could to knock it off to a slow of a start because it just it makes it that much more difficult if you're down early as they were in the second and third fight back on their side that time and it'll lead to another point six to four seems like it's uh all pc right now yeah and then honestly midwell was on the line last time when they had their little mini run in the last set when they were kind of coming back and now it's kind of odd to see because she is a middle and she protects her position back there with no libero in the park center is finding a way to do it that's just from the service line [Applause] evans would like to have that one over again for sure blomberg now does come back in as grace down by a point i'll have to serve here is [Music] and the service error as they have a the middle part of this match they were serving really well but then it's dropped off just a little bit here and there that one kind of seemed like a tired one to me a little bit like [Music] [Applause] [Music] schaefer tipping there but easy ball to get to now dugas and that time zurich yeah to your point jake i i see that too there's a little bit of fatigue and as you earlier they said they're missing players due to different various various different things and honestly that does come into play when you're running a 5-1 and you're used to a 6-2 with 6-2 you have two setters that are rotating in and out with the 5-1 you only have one setter so you're gonna have about two hitters going all the way around you're getting people who are not used to always being in the on the court on the court now fatigue starts to set in this has been a very heavy game on the other side park center has been subbing in and out making sure that people rest and make sure that they have that just that second win for especially times like this because sometimes fatigue can win a game or lose a game so we'll see what's going on especially with this new lineup and people getting used to just being on the court a lot but at the end of the day it's just fundamentals and discipline and who wants it more so it's gonna be interesting it would be interesting honestly if pc kind of played this out and fatigue really started to set in that would be something but we'll just see where the game goes park center will serve as they lead it by three they are down two sets to one after winning the first set in the thriller mikala serving it up [Music] [Applause] and a misfire there by evans that was not blocked it was into the net so 8-6 [Music] schaefer will serve [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lee will come across to dougas block was late score it for dougas yeah dugas kind of has a slow arm a big wind up so that block just didn't time that one quite as right and they were going down as she was hitting as you'll see here big wind up and they were going up and coming down when she was just about to hit so just a little little late and zero will put that one away for tortino grace nine to seven this one kind of has to feel more like that first set where it looks like it might kind of go back and forth all the way [Music] [Applause] lugo at the service line for totino grace [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and a nice strong hit there haley healthy for park center putting it away yeah that's just as early as the park center's middle was in but she kind of protected her middle spot with the nola barrow in but with some good serves behind the line and that was just a bit of a miscommunication between who is back there a middle back passer so oh [Applause] that one was it wide of the antenna blomberg's great serve i to be honest i kind of thought it might have been a ball handling error on grace there anyway so i think maybe the right result happened 11-7 bromberg another tough serve [Applause] lee has to come a long way to get to that one and then [Applause] kind of took her eye off it there and puts that one into the net so grace back to within three as they will serve now [Music] gunsmore to serve for the eagles [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah it is kind of running the risk with fatigue people kind of not taking their full time back there at the service line and you do run that line of with totino such strong serves you run that line of really skimming in that and hitting in the net or hitting out just kind of doing that high risk good serve and that serve was wide from lee as it kind of went off the side of her hand we're starting to see some you know a lot of miss serves back and forth here yeah and that's just all discipline at the end of the day just making sure you're doing your same routine behind the line making sure it's the same as the first game [Applause] mikala rolling that one over here's schaefer with a swing blomberg is there mikala gets another crack at it battle at the net is ultimately won by de zurich for tortino grace [Applause] yeah it's just a tight pass and they say in the game of volleyball it's whoever hits it lasts and a joust that gets the win so that was on toshino's side and mikala will put it away there for the pirates is quite a bit of space there in the middle grace i think that's a ball they're feeling they probably should have gotten to [Music] [Applause] here's mcgehen hammering that one home yes when they finally get a good pass as mcgee is going out obviously you didn't see her a lot in that set because they couldn't get a good pass up to the setter but it does seem that when they get a good pass up and it's on target they love to go to mcginn so good on park center for getting her rotated out pretty fast and that set was off target there and desert was there for the tip block so 13-12 grace backed within one [Applause] lee didn't handle that one cleanly so we're even up at 13. and time out for coach emery on the park center side is now grace kind of has that momentum back here and they fought back to tie it up yeah at this moment obviously you've seen a little bit of you just don't want those mistakes where there's no ball really involved or no people really involved that one was just an unknown error just a self-air you got those net errors you have some hits into the hits into the net you just don't really want those you want to clean those up you just want to talk to your players and tell them hey just play good clean controllable volleyball and just see where you go from there and onto totina's side you just got to say hey we're still in this and we just got to clean up our serves really and once we get those in honestly you can keep chugging along and honestly that's kind of how you can only get points is through serves and serves and consistency so we'll see which one comes out strong on these timeouts reminder to go to our website ccxmedia.org for the ccx sports play of the week each monday we put up four new plays and you the viewers vote to decide and we've had some great responses this fall and some great plays it's kind of fun to have a back pole go and everything obviously last fall was a little bit of a strange one that's a great time with it so far here's michela a lot of room there in the middle and she was able to get it done park center yeah that middle was just kind of late on that one i as she sees you see it goes one fall step to the outside and that just kind of gives us so much time for mickeleh to just get through that block in that hole and place it in that back corner like they have been all night zier will send it over [Music] mikala gets another attack here now schaefer had it blocked she stays with it chips mikala another swing and it was blocked a big point there for grace as shaffer doing a nice job but keep in mind she's just a freshman yeah as you were saying earlier this is so tina is a young young team and they're looking really fresh on top of that great maturity as they are in different spots for the night and they're just playing like they haven't played before they're just playing in a team effort so really exciting to see where this team goes in a couple of years shaffer had that one blocked by evans with the attack and we'll score it for the pirates and they go back in front 15 to 14. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] nicola will serve here great swing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] overpass here and put away by dugas 16-14 pc trying their best to force a fifth set here [Music] [Applause] lugo sending that one over now dugus oops overpass there and put away by schaefer yeah there's really no communication on parks centers then just if that ball was over or not and you see lee last minute recognized that no one was really going for it at that moment it's kind of too late but great rally on both sides and parks and has really given it to him right now great pass [Music] davis with the tip carlson a little off with that one's here we'll send it over though now dugus sand had it denied good block by wolof it's been mainly mcgean effective as a blocker and also schaefer but that time walla gets it done [Applause] so we're even up at 16. good recovery there [Applause] another block though this time lugo [Applause] yeah great on to tina's part staying disciplined those hard pushes if anyone plays volleyball those are the most confusing and hard ones to block because they're so soft but they're not too hard so it's hard to block you got to stay disciplined with your hands that ball is good for an ace and park center will use a time-out as the eagles putting on a surge and that one mixing them up with the good placement down the line we actually had a line judge in the far corner signal out but that's not even his call to be making there and they were quickly overruled i don't think it was much question it was in but obviously not want to you know the the line judges are generally people that you just kind of pull in for the night and it isn't uh you know they're not professionals like the two officials so that'll happen and obviously they they quickly got it right yeah so it'll be interesting to see what happens after this timeout obviously park center seems to be coming out strong their coach is obviously saying some great things that after each timeout so we'll see what they come what fire they come with um 18 16 within two so it's still anyone's game try it's a must must win set for park center for titina grace they're looking for the win so we'll see here what happens [Applause] [Music] davis will send it over tough ball there but pushed over by zier now dugus schaefer read it well sierra getting a swing off the block and good and the run continues for the eagles they're up by three yeah and shaffer must feel good after all night dugas going for that back right back line corner she finally picks up that one and it results in a big point for her team as they're up three oops shae for way too long with that one though so pirates within two and dugus will serve [Applause] good effort but it'll be a point for grace blomberg diving right down the line walla sending that one in the eagles to 20 to 17 lead now will serve [Music] and evans from lee yeah great on evans going in with that full approach full swing it looks like they're just going all for it right now and going to that spot that's been working all night if they go in there with some pace that blind corner that is a hard shot to make and she saw that that blocker she only had one and it was only walking across court so she goes where their blood bread and butter has been all night and that one too long from schaefer park centers to within one always making this game interesting where you just said i'll tell you that blomberg with the serve and another tough one eagles collide a little bit but zir stepping up you know she wants the ball in these kind of situations and she delivers there yeah zir has a very calm cool collective presence and she has been consistently hitting that back cross corner she's looks like their go-to as far as if they're the outer system or in system but now they have two big hitters up there to tina grace with megin mcgeehan and zer so it's going to be interesting to see which one which one they go to and where the blockers are favoring on the park center side [Applause] so park center back within a point that was a that was a crucial one for park center it felt like if they you know the lead started to grow even more they're going to have a tough goal of it but now they're within 21-20 [Music] lee a serve [Applause] it's a good one seer though cross court puts it in good recovery by grace they had to fight to keep that pass up on the serve but nice job by zer recognizing what was open there [Music] [Applause] [Music] lee will come to the right side and can they get to it no and it's 23 20. that was a good hustle to play park center obviously not backing down at all they're playing their hardest and it's still anyone's game so zero's now on the back row rotated out but they do have shaffer and again in the front so still two top hitters and let's see where they go with this one oh my [Music] god no carlson had to go to the court to get to that one great effort back and forth as we'll start again now it's here with a down ball but dug up by blomberg to the net and it'll be a point for grace and they're now to within one of wrapping this one up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 24-20 lead azir serves it up goes with the floater here lee outside mikala off the block [Applause] i'm gonna go to schaefer and that one's dug up by blomberg mikala another swing and that one was good pirates are not done keeping them alive mickelev there and duke is both some of their biggest hitters on up on for park center right now so it's looking good for both sides it's gonna be interesting to see where this goes [Applause] oguma will come back in here for park center i'm gonna have to say she must be a good server because this is kind of a tough ass to bring somebody in off the bench for this spot yeah oh okay okay that'll work i was about to say it is very interesting play taking someone cold off the block a cold off the bench but obviously a great server puts it in some pace and obviously titanium has not seen this serve all night so they haven't figured it out just yet 24-22 [Music] [Applause] schaefer with the swing there lee will come out to mikala had it blocked and they stay alive for the moment anyway grace mcgeehan with a swing blomberg is there dugas had it blocked and there's match point for totino grace as mcgehen stuck with it and the eagles will get the victory after dropping that opening set 29-27 they come back to win the next three so totino grace getting their first victory in the conference second win of the season to a very promising start tonight for park center and and uh slow second set and then the second and third were both pretty good though i mean this was a for teams that haven't won a whole lot there was a great effort back and forth here tonight i thought i thought it was a very good game well played on both sides they both obviously had their struggles and they both overcame both of them i thought it's just a well played game overall very strong serving game as well you had your missed serves but when they were on they were very odd and honestly it's great to see that both sides really are just looking like they're on for the next game park center as their coach said they're very headstrong they said after their loss with osseo they just wanted to just get back in the gym and do what they had to do so it's really good to see that strong team and they really put on a great performance tonight and i'm excited to see where both teams go as far as park center having a lot of seniors and where they would go after they graduate but also where they go in this season with all that experience and totino with such a young team obviously great great head in their shoulders and maturity going through all that adversity with some missing players tonight so great on both their teams tonight and well done so it is to chino grace beating park center in four sets here tonight you see the pirates took the first and then it was grace winning the next three congratulations to the eagles and hope you've enjoyed tonight's match here on ccx for janae alderson and all of our crew mj wilcox good night from park center [Music] so [Music] you
