The Fishers volleyball team got a hard-fought Hoosier Crossroads Conference sweep over Zionsville Thursday at the Tiger Den.
Fishers won the match 25-17, 25-10, 29-27. The Tigers’ defense played stellar, collecting a team total of 50 digs. Libero Adi Amirrezvani had 21 digs. Ava Vickers hit 16 kills for Fishers, while Leslie Groff put down 11 kills.
“This season, right now, is just about, you have to have fun by putting a good product out there,” said Tigers coach Steven Peek. “We have to enjoy playing volleyball at a high level. It can’t be about the scoreboard, because you’re going to play well and lose, and you’re going to play poorly and win.
Fishers was rebounding from a tough loss to start the week, as the Tigers fell to North Central in five sets on Monday.
We’re 1-1 this week,” said Peek. “We played poorly, we lost. We played really well, we won. It happened to work out that way, it doesn’t always work out that way.”
Fishers travels to Providence on Saturday to participate in the North/South Classic.

The play by zionsville was not indicative of the score. The libero Emily Kirkendol played lights out with many digs. I wish you would publish the stats for losing team as well. Thank you
