Fresh off their first win over New Providence, SHS looked to continue its early season success against the Cardinals of Plainfield. Last year the team split with Plainfield, losing at home but earning a win on the road later in the season.
The Hilltoppers were dominant from the service line as server after server scored on the Plainfield serve receive. Summit rattled off at least 6 aces in each game and never looked uncomfortable in a 25-10, 25-15 sweep of the Cardinals.
In game 1, Summit had a 13-6 lead through the first rotation of the lineup and by the 8th server they had expanded the lead to 19-11 and never looked back.
The 2nd game was a bit more competitive but Summit's dominance from the service line was never in question so although the score was 10-8 SHS at the end of 1 rotation through the lineup, it was clear that the Summit serving attack was far more dangerous than that of Plainfield. Bella D'Ambrosi was the key in Game 2 as she broke the game open when she came to serve in the top of the order and had Summit up 16-8 after a few aces. Summit was never really challenged at that point and when Lauren Trindell came in and rattled off a few service points which pushed the Hilltopper lead to 22-13, the match was essentially over.
The JV Squad will look for its 3rd win next week against a Linden team that the Hilltoppers split with last year.
JV is now 2W-0L.
