In a clash of unbeaten Southern Lakes Conference schools, and leading hitters on both sides, Waterford came out with the win against host Westosha Central Sept. 26.

“It was a great battle on both sides of the court,” said Falcons’ coach Megan Awe.

While the Falcons’ Laura Shoopman logged a game-high 28 kills, her Waterford counterpart, Mia Grunze, produced 27 in the Wolverines 21-25, 25-23, 25-17, 26-24 win.

Additionally, the Wolverines’ Mariah Grunze and Westosha Central’s Sierra Lee each had 15 kills apiece.

Lee also added 15 digs for the Falcons.

“We played a great match, we were aggressive at the serving line, gritty on defense, and aggressive at the pins,” Awe said.
