ELLENBURG — Sometimes it takes a dominant home win, to get things back on track. After back-to-back, five-set losses, the Bobcats did just that, sweeping the Chiefs, 3-0.
“The team rebounded and found their rhythm and momentum tonight,” said Northern Adirondack coach Elizabeth Brown. “Saranac was not willing to go down without a fight and there were many volleys throughout the match.”
Every player on the floor for the Bobcats tonight posted stats, but it was Emily Griffin leading the way, with 12 points, five aces, five, kills, eight assists and 10 digs. Kate LaPoint had an impressive night above the net as well, with 11 kills. Mackenzie Lawrence would lead the team in digs, with 12.
For the Chiefs, who only lost one set by less than 10 points, there were some standouts in the loss. Paige Bassett would tally double digit digs, with 10, and teammate Hailey Schiraldi notched an impressive 14 assists, in the defeat.
Northern Adirondack will look to carry this momentum into next Tuesday, when they travel to AuSable Valley. Saranac will host Saranac Lake next Tuesday, as well.
