Dock wins rematch for repeat championship

Last season Dock faced Southern Lehigh for the district championship and won 3-1. This time around Dock faced the same school and had the same results, a 3-1 win. The match's first set banged back and forth with no team taking a big lead until Dock blocking game emerged. Several huge blocks gave Dock a set 1 victory 25-15. Set 2 started much the same. Dock had big blocks but Southern Lehigh kept coming with big offense and strong defense off the net. Dock held a smaller lead until a 25-20 victory. Set 3 did not seem the same as the first two. Southern Lehigh had some great serves, blocks, and swings while Dock found themselves out of system and scrapping for points. The set ended with Souther Lehigh’s win 21-25. Then came the deciding and commanding 4th set. Dock grabbed the lead with some huge kills on the right side and served like district champs, smashing Southern Lehigh 25-13 for a convincing set win and match win.

Dock totaled 17 stuff blocks lead by Sean Gillespie and Cameron LeSuer with 4 each. Dock also had 51 kills lead by the same two with Sean’s 14 and Cameron’s 13 followed closely by Anthony Bernardo’s 11 and Dylan Gable’s 7. Dock managed 3 aces and 54 digs lead by Lane Bergey and Stellan Derstine with 13 digs each.

Well done Dock and now States. Dock will host the first round of States at our Longacre gym Tuesday at 7pm.
