Bradenton, Fla - The SCF volleyball team (9-10, 3-5 Sun Lakes South) pulled off their first home/away series sweep of the season as they shutout Trinity College of Florida (2-10, 1-1 NCCAA) 3-0 (25-12, 25-13, 25-14) at Hal Chasey Gymnasium. With the win, the Manatees are now 2-0 against the Tigers.
"Overall, the team did pretty good," said head coach Lynn Burnett. "The first two sets were really clean while the third set was a little messy where we lost a little bit of focus, but then regained it back to close it out with a lot of kills and aces overall."
"I thought we did pretty good overall," said sophomore Lison Stoffel. "It was a good opportunity to see some of the players that do not get to play much while we ran a 6-2 rotation, which is something we don't run often in practice because it's new, but I thought we did pretty good."
"I think the team did really good overall with experimenting new formations," said freshman Kloe Pinto. "I think we also did a good job having each other's backs and communicated really well. I had a lot of support from the bench and it worked out."
“I thought we did really good,” said freshman Rachel Carroll. "We switched a lot of roles around and did really well adapting to them. Overall, I'm really proud of how we did, especially for Kloe (Pinto) and Emily (Lyons). They did so good out there."
All three sets were in the Manatees with the first two being clean for them. While the third set saw the Tigers try to creep up and cut the deficit, it just made the Manatees' offense and serving work harder and stronger to complete the sweep and the series.
In the end, it was freshman Caelen Cook that lead the Manatees offense as she finished with 11 kills, two aces, one dig and a block. Stoffel would follow with nine kills, nine assists, a career-high four aces, three digs and two blocks.
"I chose not to jump serve, which is something that I usually do when I serve," said Stoffel on her game. "I think sometimes it's better for me to serve the ball with more of a float that I had to get those four aces, depending on the team we face."
Freshman Shelby Pillow would round out the order with six kills, one dig and two blocks. Classmate Kendall Steinert would secure her 12th double-double of the season as she finished with 22 assists, 11 digs, one ace and two kills.
Defensively, sophomore Shelby McGee would finish with eight digs and two aces, while Carroll followed with six digs, two aces and one assist.
"I thought I did pretty good out there, even if it was a slow game for me," said Carroll on her playing. "It got better after though, which I'm proud of myself."
Pinto (two kills, one ace and three digs) and freshman Emily Lyons (four kills, four digs and a block) also contributed in the match.
Notes:
With her 22 assists, Steinert now has 624 so far and needs 11 to surpass Brandi McGee (634, 2017) for eighth all-time in career assists.
Stoffel's eight assists push her to 518 in her career and needs 79 to surpass Sanja Vojnovic (596, 2015) for 10th all-time.
Freshmen Bailey Perry, Haley Rhoads and Bella Rebimbas did not play in the match as they were resting.
