Hitters cannot hit the ball without diggers getting digs, Winkenwerder said. Defensive specialists do not always get credit. Ours are working hard. The Indianettes did well in staying in the game with the Lady Comanches but could not overcome Shiner on the scoreboard. I thought we played a good game, Sacred Heart coach Wanda Orsak said. We just gave away too many points and made too many mistakes. She said Lady Comanche hitter LaNeshia Hunt was one of the players the Indianettes had trouble containing. Shiner rode the serving of Kristin Schacherl for a 3-0 lead early in the first set. The Indianettes eventually tied the game at 4-4 on an early ace by Jenna Brown. The Lady Comanches went on top of 9-7 as the teams exchanged points with Sacred Heart getting a kill from Shyanne Schlauch and a combo block by Adrienne Klimitchek. The Indianettes cut the lead to 11-10 on a kill by Sandra Adams. Shiner broke away at 17-14 with kills from Hunt and Schacherl. Sacred Heart battled and eventually tied the game at 24-24, getting help from a play by Robyn Pavlicek. An ace from Stafford propelled the Lady Comanches to the first-set win. In the second game, Sacred Heart had the Lady Comanches in a 9-9 jam until a quick three-point run by the visitors, and then some Indianette miscues allowed Shiner to take a 17-12 lead.

Service by Brown and kills from Klimitchek and Schlauch allowed Sacred Heart to score six of the next nine points. Shiner extended their lead courtesy of a couple of Michelle Hamilton aces. A kill from Schacherl put Shiner at game point and it was another Stafford ace to finish the second game. Sacred Heart stayed in contention at the start of the third set with effort from Shelby McElroy and Adams. Shiner was able to go ahead 11-5 in part due to Indianette miscues of serves. Kelsie Buchanan later got an ace to hold Shiner at six points, 17-11 but Shiner scored eight of the next 15 points for the set-three victory. For Sacred Heart, McElroy had 12 assists, two digs and one kill; Caitlin Orsak had one assist, one dig and one kill; Brown had four digs; Adams had two blocks and a kill; Kirsten Heger had three digs; Klimitchek had seven kills, five digs, one block and one ace; Schlauch had three kills; Pavlicek had two kils and a dig; Emily Kossa had three digs and Buchanan had two aces and one dig.
