The Varsity Volleyball team honored their Seniors tonight at their last regular season conference home match tonight against Eaton Rapids. Ionia got off to a bit of a slow start in the first set and were unable to rally back. However, they came out stronger in the next set and battled to close it out. When Ionia stepped back on the court for the third set they were confident, swinging strong, and never let up quickly closing out the match in four. Defense rallied the night working hard to allow the team to consistently put the ball away. Alexias Daugherty stepped up once again as libero and led the team with 22 digs while Logan Thomas added 18. At the net, Senior Emma White had 2 blocks while Ireland Brown and Thomas stopped 2 more each. The offensive effort was across the net tonight with Grace Droste and Thomas both putting down 11 kills while White added another 9. Droste threw up a season high 31 assists tonight. Behind the service line Seniors Lilly Reams and White both dropped in 3 aces while Molly Waterman chipped in another 3. Ionia moves to 17-14-1 on the season and 4-2 in the conference. The Bulldogs host a home tournament this Saturday. Great work Bulldogs!
