CARTHAGE, Mo. — Carthage suffered a 3-0 (25-22, 25-16, 25-13) loss to Nixa on Thursday night in Central Ozark Conference volleyball action, but Tigers coach Bradyn Webb was far from disappointed.
Webb noted she was pleased with her team’s performance.
“We played our best volleyball tonight,” Webb said. “Nixa ran the quickest offense we have seen all year and we struggled with that in the first set. This game made us so much better and more prepared for districts. We continue to get better with every game we are playing. Our girls are peaking at the right time.”
Sydnee Dudolski slammed 10 kills and had 10 digs to lead the Tigers, while Chloe Black handed out 21 assists and had seven digs.
Grace Schriever had seven kills, while Grace Pickering had five kills. Rylee Anderson had 11 digs, while Olivia Bourgault contributed nine digs. Sophie Shannon had three solo blocks.
Second-seeded Carthage takes on third-seeded Joplin at 5 on Wednesday in a semifinal contest of the Class 5 District 12 tournament at Carthage High School. In the regular-season meeting, Carthage defeated Joplin 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 27-25).
Wednesday’s semifinal winner advances to meet either No. 1 Lee’s Summit West or No. 4 Raymore-Peculiar at 7 in the championship match.
