Originally, the Manatees were scheduled to face Indian River State and Florida State College at Jacksonville, but both teams decided to pull out of facing them.
SCF vs MDC:
“I tried to make some big lineup changes going into Miami Dade,” said Burnette on facing MDC. “It was risky, but needed to happen. I put my two tiniest freshman middles in against them. And they played so well. We were point for point in the third set and they beat us 26-24. The difference is that we made them beat us. We didn’t help them do it and the growth and progress were made as a team today was huge.”
For the match against MDC, it was Wilcox-Nanai that lead the way offensively as she finished with seven kills and nine digs, while sophomore Bailey Sikkema followed with six kills, two digs and two blocks. Wallen rounded out the order with five kills and five digs.
Carpino finished with 12 assists, while Forman followed with six assists and six digs.
Rodrigues finished defensively with seven digs and an assist.
SCF vs PBSC:
The Manatees were able to take the first two sets with ease, but countless mistakes continued to haunt them as the Panthers pulled away for the win.
“What I saw today were elite athletes that let a few mistakes get in the way from being able to close out the match against Palm Beach,” said head coach Lynn Burnette on the teams performance against PBSC. “We beat ourselves and helped them beat us in five sets, even though I do believe we are the better team.”
