loses season opener
The Summit Lady Patriots traveled to Nezperce last Thursday, Aug. 29, where they lost a season-opening league volleyball match to Nezperce by scores of 18-25, 26-24, 11-25, 28-30. In the opening game Summit battled back and forth with the Indians until late in the game. Nezperce surged to a lead but Summit rallied back. The Indians pulled away to an 8-13 lead and still led 11-16 when a sideout hit by Megan Rehder put Megan Seubert on the service line. A pair of kills by Kaitlyn Stubbers and a kill by Rehder set up the game-tying ace by Seubert. Unfortunately Nezperce again surged and outscored Summit 9-2 the rest of the game. In the second game it was Summit that got off to the early lead. Rachael Frei served Summit to a 4-0 lead with two aces among the 4 points. Summit was able to hold the lead at 4 to 5 points until Nezperce put together a run to come from 16-12 down to 16-18 up. After 4 straight aces, Nezperce’s service run ended on a foot fault call. An ace by new Summit student Ally Hale, who had played for Prairie at the Grangeville Jamboree, tied the score at 18 and a kill by Seubert put Summit back on top. The game went back and forth from there with Nezperce gaining a game-point chance at 22-24 only to serve the ball into the net. An ace by Seubert, a stuff block by Hale and another ace by Seubert gave Summit a 26-24 win. The third game was dominated by Nezperce as they rolled to a 14-point win. Nezperce looked to do the same in the final game as they jumped out to a 0-4 lead but Summit fought back to take a 7-6 lead after 2 straight aces by Rehder. Nezperce took back the lead but couldn’t shake the scrappy Patriots. Nezperce had a match point chance at 22-24 but a kill by Seubert kept Summit in it. Seubert then scored a stuff block to tie it and an ace by Sarah Chmelik gave Summit a game-point chance. Nezperce fought that one off and then had another match point chance at 25-26 but a bad serve saved the Patriots. Summit fought off one more match point at 26-27 with a kill by Frei and after a tip by Kaitlyn Stubbers had another game-point chance. Nezperce fought that one off and then finally put the match away. Seubert had 12 kills, including 2 stuffs, to lead the Patriots and added 7 aces and 3 assists. Frei had 10 assists, 5 kills and 4 aces. Stubbers had 8 kills including a stuff. Rehder had 5 kills, 3 assists and 4 aces. Waters had 4 kills, 4 assists and 4 aces. Hale had 3 kills, including 2 stuffs and 1 ace. Chmelik had 2 kills, 2 assists and an ace. In the 2-game JV match Summit jumped out to leads of 7-0, 10-2 and 14-5 in the opening game only to see Nezperce put together a 5-18 run to take a 19-23 lead. The Indians had a pair of long service runs, one with 6 straight aces and the other with 7. Ashlee Stubbers served 3 straight aces to get the Patriots back into a 24-23 lead but Nezperce then scored the sideout and eventually won 27-29. Nezperce dominated the second game to win 14-25.
