Boyne City bounces back from tough loss on Tuesday to rally and beat rival Charlevoix in four sets. Set one started out back and forth between both teams, as you would expect from rival schools, neither team could really put any long rallies together. Charlevoix was able to take advantage of some great serving and ended up taking set one 26-24. It was all Boyne in the second set putting together one of the best offensive and defensive performances they have had all season and coming up big with a 25-14 win. Sets three and four were again back and forth points but with some clutch serving by Gabby Musser in both, Boyne was able to take both sets with scores of 25-23.

“I was not surprised when Charlevoix came out with all the momentum in that first set, they were playing for something bigger than just a volleyball game. What I was extremely happy with is how my girls were able to swing the momentum into our favor for the rest of the night. Even though there were times in sets three and four when I thought we were out of it, the girls made one great play and were able to get back in it. For the second night in a row Josee Behling and Jillian Cain had amazing performances at the net, with equal greatness behind them in the backcourt with Katelyn Gabos. What also really helped us tonight was our serving, as a team we served at 99%, going 97 for 98 behind the line, followed up from last night against the Soo when we went 96%. We have a scrimmage tomorrow against Marine City and are back on the court Tuesday in St. Francis for a crucial game if we want any chance of going into our Conference Tournament with a first or second seed. After playing the Soo on Tuesday and then Charlevoix tonight we have some minor things to fix but definitely think we will be ready to be competitive with TC on Tuesday.”- Coach Mallory Slate
