The South Winn volleyball team (7-10, 1-1 UIC) continues to grow momentum as it competed in the Nashua-Plainfield tournament Saturday and ventured back into conference play at home Tuesday.
Solid tourney day
Taking on some heavy hitters, the Warriors came away with a runner-up finish at the Nashua-Plainfield tournament Saturday, going 2-1.
South Winn opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Starmont. Set scores were 21-12 and 21-17. Then it was on to face the host. The Warriors handled the Huskies in two sets, 21-8 and 21-19. In the championship match, the Warriors squared off with Class 3A Hampton-Dumont/CAL, falling in two sets, 18-21 and 17-21.
“Getting outstanding production from Addi Timp on the right all day (18 kills, 2 errors, .449 on the day) we were able to take the pressure off our outside hitters and attain a team attack percentage of .329 on the day. I wish we could have gotten our middles more involved with better passing, but that is something our staff will need to take a look at,” said co-head coach Ethan Adams. “On the whole, we had a great tournament on the heels of our homecoming week, and I was proud of the girls. Avery Luzum stepped up in a big way, as we were without Ella Theis for the day, and totaled 40 assists on the day. Without the depth on our roster, we would look like a very different team and we appreciate our bench and rotational players immensely.”

UIC battle
Tuesday, the Warriors took on the conference leader North Fayette Valley (8-3, 3-0 UIC) at home in what was very likely a conference deciding match. In the end the TigerHawks won the battle 3-1 with set scores of 25-22, 25-16, 17-25 and 25-19.
“While things didn’t go our way, I was proud of the way we battled down the stretch. There weren’t many points in the match where I felt like things were completely out of reach. Our response was strong in many moments, and we had key players in supporting roles step up to give us big boosts,” said Coach Adams.
Aubrey Hageman had a four-ace second set to give the Warriors life in a set that was slipping away. Addi Timp had another great showing from opposite with six six kills, both in support of a great night by senior Ivey Franzen with seven kills.
