The Ionia Freshmen Volleyball Team traveled to Lakewood to play Thornapple Kellogg and Hastings.  The Bulldogs had a successful night beating all three teams in three sets.  In the first game of the evening the Bulldogs faced off against TK again but the Bulldogs came out victorious 27-25, 21-25, and 15-11 this time after losing to them about two weeks ago.  Against Hastings, the Bulldogs took home the win 25-23, 22-25, 15-9.  Then, in the final match of the evening, the Dawgs played against Lakewood and managed to keep their record against the Vikings to 2-0.  The first game they won 25-5, then lost 25-22, and won again 15-7.  

The girls are improving rapidly, and all their hard work is starting to show on the court.  On the net Isabella Gallagher walked away with 11 kills, while Brooklynn Nash and Kenadie McCoy both walked away with 5 for the evening.  Erin Steffen and Jordyn Cignaick also put down 3.  Gena Rogers and Ryley Helmes added two a piece and Mckenna O'Connor added another one.  Skye Currigan had a great net doing all the little things that don't show up on the stat sheets.

In the back of the court Ella Bouwhuis continues to lead the dogs in on target passing with 35 good passes this evening and another 7 digs.  Miah Wittenbach added another three digs and 5 on-target passes.

Behind the service line Erin Steffen, Isabella Gallagher, and Ava Bowen led the Dawgs with 6 a piece, while Miah Wittenbach took home another 5 aces giving the Bulldogs some easy points.
