JUDA - Missed serves doomed the Juda High School volleyball team Tuesday.
Monticello upended the Panthers in five sets in the Six Rivers Conference opener for both teams.
Monticello (1-1, 1-0 Six Rivers East) edged Juda 25-21, 25-14, 18-25, 17-25, 15-11. Juda had 19 service errors in the match. Juda drops to 2-3 overall, while Monticello levels its record at 1-1.
"We have to serve better," Juda coach Scott Anderson said. "We missed way too many serves tonight. The Six Rivers East Conference is really competitive this year. On any given night if you are a little off like having 19 missed serves it typically won't end well for that team."
Monticello senior Brie Graber had a team-high 10 kills, and senior Chandler Hansen racked up 20 digs. Senior Jessie Garrison posted 25 assists. The Ponies had eight aces and 11 blocks as a team.
"Monticello did a great job of covering the floor and digging," Anderson said. "They had a really super night digging."
After dropping the first two sets, the Panthers rallied to win the second and third sets.
"I made a rotation change, and we did a better job of placing our hitters in a place where they could attack," Anderson said.
Juda senior Sara Jordan had a team-best 12 kills. Senior Alexis Goecks had 32 digs. Senior Chelsea Burkhalter had 17 assists, and junior Hailey Kammerer added two blocks.
