JV Volleyball Opener
On Monday 8-29-22, The ASH JV volleyball team opened their season against a very good Dominican HS squad.
The first set opened with Dominican scoring 3 out of their first 4 points via serves hitting the net and dribbling over. That set the stage for what followed. Behind some tough serving and some shaky passing from the JV the score ballooned and the Cardinals lost the first set 25-9.
On the plus side for the ASH JV in that set, Natalia Mehaffie’25 had 2 huge stuff blocks, Claire Moriarty’25 tossed up some nice sets, and Piper Rubin ’25 and Callie Parenton’25 served well.
In the second set Ellie Habetz’26 had a nice serving run of 4 straight points. Riley Ralston’26 added a block and an ace. Sally Irwin’26 and Sofia Urdhain’26 had to scramble a bit to get to some of the passes as the DHS serving continued to cause problems with the Cardinal serve receive. Even so they managed to set some nice balls for their hitters.
In the end the JV fell in the second set 25-14 as DHS proved to be a formidable opponent.
Matching up against DHS was a great learning experience. The ASH JV will take this experience and use it to get better.
Next up for the Cardinals is a trip to Covington on Wednesday, 8-31-22 to play Archbishop Hannan.
