JV MOVES ON IN UCIAC TOURNEY WITH 2 GAME SWEEP OVER LINDEN

The Hilltopper JV Squad looked dominant in a 2 game sweep over Linden yesterday as Summit dismantled the Linden serve receive for a 25-19, 25-13 sweep of the Tigers.

This is the team's 3rd win over Linden this year but by far the easiest of the 3 as Coach Ross played a new lineup that featured some key changes in both the serving order and offensive options.
In game 1, Summit used 8 aces (Liu 4, Eloko 3, Viana 1) and a potent offensive outburst (9 kills) to overcome a late Tiger burst and win game 1 going away 25-19.  Micaela Nardino was unstoppable with 6 kills and a perfect 6/6 attack efficiency.

Game 2 was far less surprising of a result although it did not begin that way with the Hilltoppers missing 3 of the first 4 serves and trailing 4-3 at the onset.  But then the Hilltoppers corrected their serving woes and proceeded to go on a 21-9 run fueled by 7 aces by Olivia Elko who blew the game open.

For the match, the stat leaders were:

Olivia Skrobala distributed 7 assists,  Cheryl Liu had 4 digs,  Olivia Elko scored 10 aces and Micaela Nardino nailed 7 kills.

This was the team's 14th win and their record stands ar 14W-4L, 1 win shy of the record set last year and currently hold the best winning % in program history.  Next up  for the Hilltoppers is Roselle Catholic.
