“I feel good about our season opener,” said Head Coach Debi Foss. “We had moments when we looked strong and other moments that were not so pretty. Ortonville did a good job of moving the ball to different parts of our court. The team worked hard, encouraged each other, everyone played well, and everyone contributed to the win.”

Leaders for Hillcrest were Audra Ewan (13 set assists, 2 ace serves, 8 digs), Mackenzie Foss (4 ace serves, 17 digs), Abby Heikes (3 ace serves, 2 kills, 8 digs), Hope Adams (7 kills), Madi Foss (5 ace serves, 7 kills, 15 digs), Anna Brumfield (4 ace serves, 5 blocks, 2 kills), Natalie Zwiers (3 blocks, 2 kills) and Emily Adams (4 kills, 2 blocks).

The Comets will play in Hancock on Monday night.
