REDFIELD – Aberdeen Christian picked up three volleyball wins, including gaining a measure of revenge against Aberdeen Roncalli, during the Pheasant Volleyball Classic in Redfield on Saturday. The Knights also defeated Florence-Henry and Gettysburg, while losing to eventual tourney champion Northwestern.
“I’m so proud of how the team played today,” said Christian coach Sally Stoebner.
Jolie Fogarty led the Knights in three of the matches, while Arianna Johnson collected a dozen kills in the other one.
Of course, the highlight for Christian was defeating Roncalli, which defeated the Knights in a reverse sweep a couple of weeks ago.
“Our passing was awesome,” Stoebner said. “We were able to stay in system throughout the whole match which kept our offense going. It felt good to get that win on our first game of the day.”
The Knights have a road match at Northwestern on Tuesday, before hosting James Valley Christian on Thursday.
