Coachs Remarks
"Wow! What a crazy finish!! We were down 18-9 and won 25-23! Big CCIW win! We started of going back and forth with them then pulled away around 20 points. Got them out of system in set two with some strong serving and blocking. They return the favor in set three and we struggled getting in system and made too many errors. We were really out of sorts in set four and got really far behind. Cassidy Stahl had a big service run for us and Katie Boston and Leena Ajibola had some big blocks. Kaitie Rohe had a big night offensively and was clutch during the comeback. Kristina Manojlovic had a strong service run at the end to get us ahead. Jenna Damon finished it off and stayed positive all night! Great team win!"


Team Results
  • Carthage returns home for Senior Night on Wednesday, November 1, against North Park at 7 p.m.
