Dock Loses Tough District Battle to Faith

After exceeding expectations and making Districts, Dock found themselves faced against a strong Faith team Tuesday night. Faith held control of the match throughout the night but Dock was determined to fight till the end. And fight they did. As a team Dock hit in the positive getting more kills than errors focusing on taking care of the ball and not giving Faith free points. All night Dock never backed down from the fight no matter the score. Ava Dunn and Lela Martin had the best blocks of the season helping spark their team when needed most and making the gym erupt when shutting down their hitters. Sophia Mercure played a great game for Dock at libero position all season and finished the game with a team-high of 14 digs. Adelyn Clemmer scrapped on defense earning 7 digs and also added 3 big kills from the outside. All season long Adelyn led from the service line and again Tuesday night she had the most attempts by finding ways to pressure them and create runs for her team. Sophia and Adelyns ball control have been a constant for Dock all season and were evident again Tuesday night. Lela Martin led the team with 5 kills taking some big swings at the pin and finding ways to get her team the point. Addison Landis played a great game at outside earning 2 kills and providing great defensive plays all night. Lianna Vargas stepped up Tuesday night running the show at setter earning 4 kills and scoring on every attack she made. Every time Lianna was faced with adversity during the game she stepped up and kept fighting for her team. The coaches were immensely proud of the way this Dock team fought hard all year earning this playoff berth, but more importantly, learning how to be teammates for one another and play for something bigger than themselves. Great season girls!
