OCTOBER 18, 2019, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 McNary falters against MVC’s top team By MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes There were times through- out the match when the Mc- Nary volleyball squad proved that they could hang with sev- enth-ranked Sprague. But in the end, the Olympians proved to be too much for the Celtics, as Sprague took the match in straight sets, winning 25-23, 25- 13, 25-11 on Tuesday, Oct. 15. “Volleyball is a game that’s all about momentum. I thought we were on point during game one, but we defi nitely wavered in game two and game three,” McNary head coach Crystal DeMello said. “You can’t waver against a team like Sprague.” Kills by Taylor Ebbs and Chloe Diede, as well as an ace from Marisa Ortiz, gave Mc- Nary the lead to begin game one. Sprague came back to tie the game at 6-6, but another mon- ster kill by Ebbs allowed Mc- Nary to grab the lead back. “We had really good com- munication and we just trust- ed each other and everyone was doing their job,” Ebbs said about the opening set. The Celtics got stuff blocks by Zoie Warner and Chloe Martindale to keep the upper hand on the Olympians midway McNary fell behind 10-6 in the second set and then allowed Sprague to score seven of the next eight points to take a com- manding lead. The Olympians eventually won the set by dou- ble-digits. The Celtics got off to a slow start once again in game three and couldn’t recover, allowing Sprague to take the set by 14 points. “I think we got a little dis- couraged and just slowed down,” Ebbs said. “We know that we have a fi ght in us, but our energy went down.” Even though they current- ly sit in seventh place in the Mountain Valley Conference, McNary still has an outside chance to qualify for the post- season. But in order for that to happen, the Celtics will have to win their next two conference battles. McNary will host South Sa- lem on senior night at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Then the Celtics will take on McKay at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24 in the season fi nale. through the set. Alexis Eldridge added an ace, but Sprague ral- lied back to tie the game at 17- all. The back-and-forth play continued late into the fi rst set. After trailing for nearly the en- tire time, Sprague regained the lead at 22-21. A block by Die- de tied the score. The Olym- pians, however, scored three of the next four points to take the game one win. Falling just short of stealing the fi rst set proved to be a back- breaker for McNary, as all the momentum shifted to Sprague when the two teams switched sides.
