1-11-2007 Staff Report "Their height was just too much for us," said CCS volleyball coach Rich Jantzi. "We hung in there but made some mistakes that young teams make. It was the test we needed before we head into league play." The Lady Redskins, 7-1, will host Canastota on Saturday at 3 p.m. in a big Center State Conference match. Canastota is 10-0 on the season and a perennial powerhouse in the league and section. "I expect them to play amazing defense like always," Jantzi said. "They are a shorter team like us, but very athletic." Against Dolgeville, Kim Armstrong had nine assists, two aces, and one kill; Katie Horrigan, five kills, two assists, and one ace; Kyle Mackie, six kills, one assist, and one ace; and Laura Resnick, three kills and one block. Cooperstown improved to 7-0 with a straight set win at Richfield Springs on Friday night, 25-6, 25-15 and 25-16. "The first game of the match was probably the best the girls played all season," Jantzi said. Armstrong, just a junior, had 18 assists in the game, and is now the school's alltime leader in assists, Jantzi said. She is averaging better than 15 assists a game this season. In the next two weeks, Cooperstown will play home and away games with both Canastota and Mt. Markham (9-1) in games that will go a long way toward deciding the league title. "I am confident we can rebound from the Dolgeville loss," Jantzi said. "We needed a tough game to see how we stack up. The girls should be happy to be 7-1, but we have a lot of work ahead of us." |
