The Summit Hilltoppers came into the non-conference match with the Cougars of Chatham looking to extend their winning streak and get their 8th win of the season. Chatham proved to be a bit more than the Summit squad could handle as the Cougars dispatched of the Hilltoppers on Varsity 25-21. 25-16.
Summit trailed quickly 9-2 and just never recovered as the serve receive and the offense could not stay in sync. Val Guzman was the only bright spot in the game as she hit for 4 kills (.333 efficiency) and nailed 3 aces which helped keep Summit in the game as Guzman scored 1/2 of the Hilltopper points in the game.
Game 2 was a different game for a stretch as the Hilltoppers were always in the match until the latter half of game 2 when the serve receive fell apart and allowed a 14-12 Cougar lead to blow up into a 20-14 lead. Casey Nardino was the only bright spot offensively as she led the team with 3 kills.
The Hilltoppers hit for 15 kills (.204 hitting efficiency), hit for 5 aces on 36/38 serving and added 2 blocks to round out the team's scoring.
The Hilltooppers will host the Walrdlaw-Hartridge Rams on Thursday to close out the regular season.
JV NO MATCH FOR COUGAR ATTACK
The Hilltopper squad could not solve the Cougar serve and was out of the match early in each game in a lackluster 25-15, 25-13 loss to Chatham.
Game 1 saw the Hilltoppers down 14-9 in a game where the Maroon and White could not generate any kills (only managed 3 in the game) and fell late in the game 25-15. Game 2 was resolved early as the team dropped a 25-13 decision thanks in part to an early 10 point Cougar run that had the Hilltopper squad down 14-4, a deficit they could not overcome.
Tessa Pulgar dug up 3 balls and Olivia Elko nailed 2 serves and dug up 1 ball to keep SHS alive.
