Regional Highlights Wilmington - Division II Semifinals The scores don't indicate a tight match between Chaminade-Julienne Bacon, but it was an extremely high quality and exciting match. Both teams played well, with plenty of long rallies, super defense and terminal attacks. There were 3 big momentum swings in this match.
Roger Bacon started
with a few errors as CJ took a 3-2 lead. Roger Bacon gained the momentum to
spurt to a 8-3 lead behind a few Emily Withers jump serves before CJ called
their first timeout. Roger Bacon was really clicking and looked to coast as CJ
called their 2nd timeout at 13-4. This started the 2nd momentum swing, as CJ
come back with some excellent ball control and several major cranks from MB
Stephanie Ross. CJ brought the score back to Chaminade continued their hot streak to start game 2 as they ran to a 6-1 lead. It sure looked like we would be playing 3 games at this point. After a timeout, the 3rd momentum swing started as Roger Bacon brought themselves back to even at 6-6 and 8-8. Brittany Holden was excellent during this stretch.
A weird occurrence
happened to delay the match about 40 minutes as Roger Bacon led 10-8. The
referee slumped over at the net, collapsing on his leg. He seemed very pale and
looked to faint while still up on the platform. Several people helped him from
the stand and it was a long time before the squad arrived to take him. Apparently he had a hip going out of joint or a collapse of his ACL. Back
to the match, the teams were given 10 minutes of warmups. Roger Bacon continued
their strong play, as CJ made a few hitting errors, and the final score was
15-9. This kind of match is why volleyball is such a great game to watch.
