1-17-2008 Staff Report CCS held a lead in each of the first two sets against Canastota, but lost 21-25 and 23- 25. They lost the third set 14- 25. "Canastota was no better than us, we just made way too many mental mistakes," said Cooperstown head coach Rich Jantzi. "Missed serves and lack of execution at times hurt." Kim Armstrong had 11 assists, two kills and two aces to lead Cooperstown's attack. Sarah Dewey had five kills and Kyle Mackie three kills and an assist. "I was very pleased with our defense," Jantzi said. "We only allowed two aces to Canastota." The Lady Redskins bounced back from Saturday's loss to beat Unatego at home on Monday night in straight sets, 25- 23, 25-10 and 25-23. "Unatego was a tougher match than I thought," Jantzi said. Cooperstown trailed 18-10 in the first set before rallying, and took their first lead of the third set at 24-23 before clinching the set and match. Armstrong, the program's all-time leader in assists, had 14 more on Monday to go along with six kills and an ace. Katie Horrigan had six aces and Laura Resnick four kills. Cooperstown also defeated Sauquoit, 25-23, 25-13 and 25- 15 last Thursday, and Owen D. Young, 25-16, 25-18 and 25- 20. "It's been a tough week with five games in eight days," Jantzi said. "We have a rough stretch of games coming up, with two against Mt. Markham and one against Canastota, so the league will be decided by Jan. 25." Cooperstown is 10-4 overall and 4-1 in league play, which puts them in a second place tie behind Canastota, which is undefeated in league competition. Markham and Canastota play Friday night, and CCS traveled to Mt. Markham last night (Wednesday) and will host the Mustangs on Tuesday. |
