Blazer Attack Too Much for Pipers

CSB controlled the tempo of the match from the opening serve. It was not just the scores that exhibited CSB’s control over the match. The Blazers’ performance was at it best during the 30-14 win in the second game. CSB held the Pipers to a -.097 hitting percentage while hitting .353 as a team for that game.  Sophomore outside hitter Emma Jaynes (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing HS) and first-year middle blocker Calleigh Brown (Buffalo, Minn./Buffalo HS) combined for nine kills in the second game alone.

Brown recorded game and season-highs in both kills and hitting percentage. She led the Blazer attack with 15 kills and a .500 hitting percentage as the Pipers struggled to find a defense. Four Blazers recorded 10 or more kills and four others tallied 10 or more digs in tonight’s match. Both Jaynes and sophomore setter Beth Hanson (Fairbault, Minn./Bethlehem Academy) finished with double-doubles. Jaynes compiled 12 kills and 17digs while Hanson recorded 46 assists and 10 digs. First-year middle blockers Kayli Schumacher (East Grand Forks, Minn./Sacred Heart HS) and Laurel Heggernes (Mora, Minn./Mora HS) added 11 and 10 kills respectively.
