The lo n e Lady
Cardinals maintained their
w inning w ays this past
week, putting three more
notches in the win column.
The Cardinals now sport a
16-0 overall record and 2-0
league record. However,
showdown week looms,
with the Cardinals host
ing league rivals Condon-
Wheeler on Tuesday (game
played too late for results
to be reported). They then
travel on Friday to Dufur
to take on the team with
the highest power ranking
in the state. They will back
it up with a full day of vol
leyball on Saturday at the
W eston-McEwen Power
Tournament.
“ We had a very
productive practice Monday
and made a few changes. I
am feeling fairly confident
heading into this week,”
said Coach Dawn Eynet-
ich.
Last Tuesday, Sep
tember 27, lone hosted Riv
erside for a non-conference
match. Playing without two
starters, the Lady Cardinals
found themselves in a very
unusual spot, down 0-10 in
the first game.
“We had a totally
different rotation with girls
playing in new positions,”
noted Eynetich.
It took about 10
points to get it figured out
before they roared back to
win the set in three straight,
25-13,25-12 and 25-5. Do-
minika Senkerikova was a
dominant force in the match
with 18 kills, 11 serves and
two aces. Makenna Ramos
was 19-19 at the service line
with three aces.
On the ro ad to
Sherman on Friday, the
Lady C ardinals faced a
struggling Husky team, put
ting them away easily 25-9,
25-9,25-12. JoAnna Patton
was strong at the net with
10 kills and three blocks.
She also served 100% on
six serves. Makenna Ramos
continued her serving streak
with 16-16 serving and four
aces. The game allowed
the coaches to rotate in the
entire squad and try some
different combinations.
“Lacey Thompson
stepped in and did a fan
tastic job in the front row,”
said Eynetich.
The team finished
the week with a road trip
to Helix on Saturday, Oc
tober 1. Playing without
Makenna Ramos and Mary
Rietmann, the team main
tained their winning streak
with a 25-9,25-2 L and 25-6
win. Stacee Halvorsen filled
in as setter and did “a great
jo b ” according to Coach
Eynetich. She also served
8-8 with two aces. JoAnna
Patton was 21-21 at the
service line with seven aces
plus put down nine kills in
the match.

“We were not able

able to get our own offense
in gear. We played hard
but did not execute well
on offense or defense,”
said Coach Wieper. “Zac
Orem threw the ball well,
and Omar Juarez and Evan
Rietmann made some fine
receptions in clutch situ
ations. We will need to
dramatically increase our
proficiency on defense if we
are to compete with Dufur
