Boston Brown also had an ace to go with her seven aces. Hattie McCorkindale finished with four kills and a pair of aces. Carlie Kvols added three kills with an ace and Taelynn Settje also had a kill on the night.Just opposite of them on the other court, Guardian Angles had a bit of a battle themselves but was able to take control and secure the rubber-match win over Bergan Catholic 25-15, 16-25, 25-9, 25-22.The Bluejays were powered by the offensive duo of Hailey Kreikemeier (24 kills, three aces) and Bailey Gerths (19 kills) while Kara Ridder added eight kills and an ace of her own.Charlotte Ridder chipped in two kills while riley Wegner and Emma Cohee each had three aces. Tai Strehle also finished with an ace.Moving over to Class D2, all three Northeast Nebraska teams were able to move onto semifinal Friday, with Wynot and St. Mary's set to square off in an all-Northeast Nebraska matchup.For the Cardinals, they were powered by sisters Pyper and Tatum Ickes, who combined for 38 kills in their 25-18, 25-12, 25-19 sweep of Sandhills/Thedford.The sisters had help, though, as Halloe Boettcher and Laney Drueke each finished with two kills while Cherish Williamson and Adyson Petersen each had a kill. Dureke and Petersen also added three aces each in the contest.As for Wynot, the Blue Devils rode the hot hand of Calley Stewart, who tallied 20 kills on a .548 hitting percentage in a convincing 25-9, 25-15, 25-13 sweep of Crawford/Sioux County for the defending state champions.Mya Pinkelman added Six kills for Wynot while Makenzie Foxhoven had four kills; Tiara Sudbeck had three kills along with five aces; Taylor Pinkelman added two kills. Kiersten and Bryar Hans also each finished with a kill.In the final D2 contest, Bancroft-Rosalie, who had not been to the state tournament since 2009, made a statement with their win over No. 3 Hay Springs 25-13, 25-6, 25-23 for their first victory in Lincoln since 2007.Despite being up 2-0 in sets, the Panthers found themselves down 18-13 in the third but used a 12-5 run to close out the sweep.The run was due in large part to the balanced attack of Bailey Murphy (12 kills), Jaylynn James (11 kills), Gracie Davis (9 kills) and Emilyn Hilsinger (5 kills, three aces).Callie Kai added three kills and two aces go to along with her 32 assists at the setter spot, while Aizley Dean had two kills of her own.While the season continues for five of our area teams, three others saw their seasons come to an end.Back over in Class C2, Stanton jumped out to a 1-0 set lead before ultimately falling to Centura 29-27, 21-25, 20-25, 14-25.The Mustangs were led offensively by Bridget Marotz's 13 kills while Bergan Pohlman, who suffered a knee injury to end the third set and sat most of the fourth, added nine kills and two aces on the night.Katie Downing chipped in eight kills while Hayden Dixon added even kills and three blocks. Charlotte Marotz chipped in six kills while Alaina Siebrandt added a kill of her own.Outside of Pohlman, Hazel Schellpeper (3), Sophia Hoferer (1) and Maci Schellpeper (1) all had an ace on the day.In Class D1, Madyson Mlady led four players in double-digit kills with 24, but Bloomfield was unable to keep the momentum as they fell to Tri County 25-21, 27-25, 22-25, 25-27, 14-16.Outside of Madyson, Miley Pinkelman and Kysa Loecker each had 12 kills in the contest while Haley Eisenhauer added 11 kills and four aces.
