JUDA - Seniors Melissa Wellnitz and Rachel Rygh combined for 13 kills and senior Alyssa Piefer added five aces and 15 assists to power the Warriors past the Panthers, 25-11, 25-13, 22-25, 25-11 in a Six Rivers East match up Thursday.
Freshman Jen Wellnitz chipped in with five kills, three blocks, and two aces for Black Hawk.
The Panthers needed a lift in game three to stay alive and got it from sophomore Brittany Moe, who delivered 10 service points.
"She didn't miss a serve all night," said Juda head coach Pam Green.
Game four, however, was a different story as Black Hawk's Piefer served nine straight points at the outset.
"We weren't able to come back from that deficit," Green said.
Juda junior Ellen Kiser had 10 kills and nine blocks to lead Juda. The Panthers also got 11 assists from senior Aly Pierce and eight digs each from junior Katlyn DeVoe and senior Megan Trotter.
