The JV Squad took the court trying to get back to .500 against the Indians of Rahway, a team they failed to defeat last year. The Hilltoppers were dominant in a 25-17, 25-19 win over the Indians where the SHS serving and offense were the difference in the match.
Summit started game 1 with a flurry of offense behind Christina Gangi's hitting, earning an 8-4 lead after Bella D'Ambrosi served in rotation 4. After Rahway tied the game at 8, Katie Samay used a 5-0 serving run fueled by 3 aces to get Summit ahead for good 15-8. Rahway closed to within 3 at 20-17 but Samay stepped up again, burying the Indians with a 4-0 run, hitting 2 more aces, to close out game 1 25-17.
Game 2 started with Taylor Thompson giving Summit a 3-0 lead with 1 ace on her part and SHS was able to maintain that lead through the first 6 rotations (9-6). Thompson stepped up again and delivered another 4-0 run with 2 more aces that increased the lead to 14-6. After a change of serve had the Indians only down by 3 at 14-11, Captain Madison Young delivered another blow that Rahway could not recover from with a 4-0 service run with 1 ace to propel Summit to a 19-11 lead. Despite inconsistent hitting from the Hilltoppers, Rahway could not get on track from the service line and failed to take advantage of SHS's attacking errors and the match ended with the Indians out-scoring the Hilltoppers 8-6, but not nearly enough to derail the 4th win for SHS.
Summit improves to 4W-4L and now faces a critical week as the team has 4 matches next week.
