“Lakeside served tough, and our serve receive reflected it,” head coach Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey. “We had a hard time getting in system, but there were also some huge positives from the night, like working the kinks out of a new rotation and seeing this new team really maintain their cool and support one another.”
Junior Piper Scarlett added five kills, sophomore Nora-Jean Hoy four kills, four assists and two aces in the loss.
“We built momentum in that third set and I was able to see the scrappy, aggressive team I know from practice,” coach Kiebert-Carey said. “We have a solid base upon which to build our season.”
