The last match for the Hilltoppers was an exclamation point on a record breaking season for this sophomore laden squad. SHS beat the Kent Place squad 25-12, 25-5 in a serving clinic that had the Summit team score on 18 aces and tally 15 kills.
Catherine Eldridge, one of the 2 ¨grandmas¨ of the team, led the squad with 7 kills (5 in set 1) to lead an efficient attack that saw 6 different notch at least 1 kill in the match. Eldridge was backed up by Sabrina Ippolito who balanced out the offense with 5 kills of her own (4 in set 1).
Hope Basaman was again a menace from the service line with 4 aces but Sarah Noa was the team leader on this day with 8 aces (3 in set 1 and 5 in set 2) to blow open each set.
The constant Hilltopper serving pressure kept the Dragons from any semblance of offense, often being forced to just get the ball over the net, thus, the defense had very few opportunities to tally any digs. Jackie Szabados led the squad with 3 digs and Victoria Macarthur notched 2 in the win!
The 19W-5L record the 2019 earned puts them #1 in Total Wins and #1 in Winning Percentage in Program History. Reaching the Semi-Finals of the County Tournament is also the highest finish for the Hilltoppers in the tournament in Program History.
Congratulations Coach Ross and JV Hilltoppers for a record setting season!!!!
