The number one ranked Liberty varsity volleyball team traveled to City High on Tuesday night, August 31, four days after the Liberty and City football teams played. The Bolts, only a couple games into the young season, made quick work of the Little Hawks, sweeping them in a quick 3 sets.
The girls found themselves losing 9-8 in the first set, but then went on a run and ended up winning the first set 25-13.
Cassidy Hartman, junior, led the team with 5 kills in the first set and Asta Hildebrand, freshmen, was close behind with 4 kills. To start the second set, the team got hot and stayed hot, winning easily 25-11. Hartman added another 5 kills to bring her total up to 10. In the third set, showing no mercy, the girls completed the sweep and won 25-13 in set 3.
Leading on the stat sheet throughout the game, Hartman finished with a total of 14 kills. Not far behind, Shelby Kimm, junior, finished with 10 kills, and Hildebrand finished with 7. The Bolts as a team averaged a 40 percent kill success rate and a 97 percent serve accuracy.
“I think we play really good as a team. We were all communicating really well and everything was flowing together,“ Hartman said when asked about the team’s performance last night. “It felt good to beat City [High] and it was fun having our student section there supporting and cheering for us.”
Head co-coach Allie Kelly said: ”The team played well with lots of energy. They did a really good job of maintaining energy levels throughout the entire game.”
This was a very big win for Liberty fans, as the volleyball team successfully avenged our football team and gave all supporters something to cheer about.
