The River Queens Volleyball team traveled to DeWitt for a rescheduled MAC meeting on Thursday night. The sophomores started in a hole, down by as much as 10 points in the first set. The effort was outstanding, but they just couldn't finish the first set, losing 24-26. Unfortunately, the Sophomore Queens never came out of the slump as they were swept, losing set two 17-25 and set three 21-25. Audry Gruhn led the Queens offensive output with 11 kills on 31 swings. Phoebe Levine had the hot hand as the setter, dishing out 15 total assists on the night. Jaedyn Jordan led the River Queens with an impressive 17 digs in the match. The varsity Queens came out of the all important MAC showdown very slow, dropping the first set but rebounded nicely to win the second set. The third set was a repeat of the Queens struggles from the first set as they committed too many errors to compete. The fourth set was a barn burner, as Clinton held a late 23-17 lead, only to give away and drop the final set 25-27. The Queens dropped the match, 1-3. Maggie House led a balanced offensive attack with 8 kills and a team high 5 aces on 17 attempts. Alaina Carpenter assisted on 17 of the teams' 28 kills. Tenley Cewe led the back row with 12 digs, a career high, while Carpenter followed suit with 11 digs. Maggie House passed an impressive 2.66 (on a 3-scale) passer rating. The Queens will regroup and host the River Queen Invite on Saturday. as 8 other teams will look to take home the team championship.
