Wolfpack Squeak Past St. Mary's To Remain Undefeated

The Elgin Public/Pope John volleyball squad faced arguably their toughest test yet Tuesday at the St. Mary's Triangular and they survived the battle to remain undefeated.

The Wolfpack took on both St. Mary's and St. Francis and came away with two more wins, albeit after quite a fight.

Against St. Francis, the Wolfpack were taken to three sets before they pulled out the win 25-18, 17-25, 25-13. 

It took a high-powered attack to down the Flyers, led by seniors Liz Selting and Amy Nelson. Selting connected on 17 kills and Nelson put down 10 kills. Junior Grace Henn added nine kills of her own for the Wolfpack.

EPPJ then took on St. Mary's in what turned out to be a classic battle of two of the top teams in Nebraska. EPPJ won in two sets but it was anything but easy, winning 26-24, 26-24.

Once again, Selting, Nelson and Henn led the way offensively for the Wolfpack, recording 14, seven and five kills, respectively.

The Wolfpack continue their quest for a perfect season Thursday at the Clearwater-Orchard Double Triangular.
