The Fishers volleyball team got a hard-fought sweep of Zionsville Saturday in a home Hoosier Crossroads Conference match.
The Tigers won 25-22, 25-22, 26-24. Jada Allen had an outstanding offensive game, leading Fishers with 20 kills. She also made five digs and had one block.
Mikayla Christiansen put down 10 kills and made four blocks. Camryn Haworth dished out 41 assists to lead in that category, and also had 16 digs, nine kills, two blocks and one ace. Emily Waldrop collected 13 digs to go with eight kills and one ace.
Ava Vickers hit five kills with a hitting percentage of 0.625, and also made three blocks. Grace Dunnuck added four kills and four blocks, and Samantha Purdue led the digs with 19 and also handed out three assists.
“The team was incredibly composed today,” said Tigers coach Steven Peek. “We were down at least five points in each of the first two sets, and the girls didn’t let it get to them. They just focused on playing great volleyball. Communication was at an all-time high in today’s match, and those relationships helped us find our way.
“We were more in control of the third set, but Zionsville doesn’t give up, and they came back to tie it at 24. But we finished the match with two blocks, which is very fitting for us. Blocking is part of who we are.”
The victory was the first one in the HCC for Fishers, which is now 1-1 in the conference. The Tigers are 12-4 overall and plays at Pendleton Heights on Monday.
Noblesville dropped two four-set matches at The Mill on Saturday.
The Millers fell to Cathedral 13-25, 25-14, 25-18, 25-14 in a morning match, then lost to Greenfield-Central 14-25, 25-16, 25-10, 25-14 in the afternoon.
Noblesville is 5-7 for the season and plays at Carmel on Wednesday.
