The Otters were led by Macee Butler (11 digs), Brynn Sternberg (9 digs, 1 ace, 4 kills), Karyssa Eberlee (7 digs, 17 set assists, 4 kills, 2 assisted blocks, 1 solo block), Bella Anderson (6 kills, 3 ace serves, 2 assisted blocks), Rachel Debrito (4 kills, 1 solo block, 1 assisted block) and Grey Korinek (4 digs, 2 kills, 1 assisted block).  Brook Zierden and Hannah Johnson added 3 digs each.

“Our girls played with a lot of control and we didn’t give up points easily,” noted Noon.  “We had long rallies and a lot of hustle plays.  Our hitters were hitting their shots and making smart plays at the net.  Our defense and passing were setting up our hitters more than we have in the past and it was fun to see it all come together.  Karyssa played great defense and set the ball beautifully tonight.  She made a lot of good decisions and was really strong at the net.  There were some moments in the game we would hit little snags and that is when Willmar would take charge.”

Fergus Falls will host Alexandria on Thursday night.
