Coop volleyball places second at Hamilton tourney


Staff Report

The Cooperstown volleyball team narrowly missed winning its third tournament of the season, placing second to host Hamilton by a slim point differential.

Both CCS and Hamilton finished with 5-1 records, but Hamilton scored three more points than Cooperstown during the tournament, which was the tiebreaker.

"We played great all tournament long and to finish second was disappointing," said CCS volleyball coach Rich Jantzi.

Cooperstown played four matches in the Pool Play format, defeating Waterville 25- 10, 25-11 and Mohawk, 25-5 and 25-20. They split their two sets with Hamilotn, winning 25-22 and losing 19-25.

CCS's Kim Armstrong and Katie Horrigan were named to the all-tournament team.

Armstrong had 11 aces, 12 kills and 26 assists, while Horrigan had 16 aces, 13 kills, three assists and one block.

Cooperstown played without senior captain Kyle Mackie (flu) and Jamie Sharratt.

"Sara Angerer filled in for Kyle and did a great job with two aces, seven kills and nine assists," Jantzi said.

Other highlights for the Lady Redskins included Sarah Dewey's four aces and four kills; Kiersten Pikarsky's six kills and Laura Resnick's six kills.

Cooperstown is 5-0 in regular season matches and 3-0 in Center State Conference play.

They played Little Falls Wednesday night and at Richfield Springs on Friday. On Monday, they host Dolgeville.

"I fully expect the girls to come back from Christmas break eager to go," Jantzi said.

"We have 15 games and one tournament left. We have a lot coming up and our schedule is going to get real hard, real quick."
