Wolfpack Down Spartans 3-1 Thursday Night

The EPPJ girls got back on the winning track Thursday night as they put away Boyd County in four sets to even up their record at 3-3 on the season.

In a dominating first set, the Wolfpack defeated the Spartans 25-16. The next three were a bit more challenging, but Elgin Public/Pope John came out on top in their home match—25-21, 22-25, 25-21.

Kaylee Martinsen led the balanced attack, hammering down 8 kills. Harlie Bode added 7 kills, followed by Kirsten Krebs with 6, Haley Zegers with 4 and Kayce Kallhoff and Anna Heilhecker with 3 each. 

Heilhecker worked hard to keep balls from dropping on the Wolfpack side, picking up an impressive 29 digs on the night. Setting up the EPPJ hitters was Allyson Wemhoff, who tallied 30 set assists in the win.

EPPJ will play again on Saturday, Sept. 8 when they travel to Howells-Dodge.
