B2 Sports Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, October 12, 2016 Lady Pros sweep Elgin Grant Union preps for Imbler on the road By Angel Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle The Lady Pros sailed to a 3-0 homecoming win over the Elgin Huskies on Friday after- noon. Scores in the game were 25- 9, 25-15 and 25-10. “One of our goals for the match was to focus on con- trolling the ball, playing better defense and executing better offense,” said head coach Shae Speth, adding she felt the team accomplished that goal. Grant Union junior Mariah Moulton led the way with 12 kills, followed by sophomore Kaylee Wright with 10 kills. Senior Chelsie Kodesh was 100 percent on serving and serve-receive with 16 digs. Grant Union hosted Enter- prise Saturday, again taking a sweep, with scores of 25-16, 25-15 and 25-15. The Prospectors will spend this week preparing for their away game against Imbler, scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday, be- ginning with junior varsity I and II, followed by varsity. “We’ll look at making a few adjustments to our game plan and minimizing our own errors,” Speth said. “We be- lieve that we will have to play our best match in order to win, but that they will need to do the same.” Grant Union claimed a hard- fought home-game win over Imbler on Sept. 29. Currently, Imbler (23-2) is ranked No. 2 after Culver for OSAA 2A teams, and Grant Union is No. 3. (21-3). Grant Union hosts Union for the Dig Pink rally at 1 p.m. Saturday beginning with junior varsity.
