WAUBAY – Aberdeen Christian did not have much time to recover following a match on Monday, but the Knights were up to the challenge on Tuesday night.

One night after a tough four-set setback to Aberdeen Roncalli, Christian picked up a 25-22, 25-13, 25-9 non-conference volleyball sweep over Waubay-Summit.

“It was a quick turn around for us as we played a four-set match (Monday) night,” said Christian coach Sally Stoebner, “but the girls took care of business tonight against a good Waubay-Summit team.”

Ari Johnson powered the Christian offense with a 15-kill performance. The junior also had three aces and a pair of solo blocks.

“We played a good game tonight with Ari Johnson leading for us offensively,” Stoebner said.

Payton Skarin also had three aces and a team-leading 18 digs.

Mia Ramirez contributed nine kills.

Mackenzie Zubke had seven kills and four blocks to lead the Mustangs. Elise Aker contributed two aces, two kills, 25 digs, and two blocks.

The Knights, 8-5 on the season, now get a week’s break before hosting Wilmot in another non-conference match next Tuesday at the Christian School Gym.
