Game Details - Girls Volleyball

In a rematch of last year’s 3A state championship, No. 2 seed Morgan took care of business in impressive fashion as it swept No. 10 seed Richfield, 25-20, 25-19, 25-14. “We got our offense going, we had some good defensive plays that set up our offense and we got some good swings today and I think that frustrates a lot of teams because we can go pin to pin and we’ve got a big middle,” said Morgan coach Liz Wiscombe. Morgan freshman Jerstyn Payne was instrumental in many of those defensive plays as Wiscombe said she came up big with several tips and diving saves to keep the ball alive. Morgan advances to the 3A semifinals on Friday at 11 a.m. and will face No. 6 seed Union. The schools have become good rivals in recent years, and Morgan swept both meetings this year. Wiscombe said energy will be the key in the semifinals. “Energy. Keeping that positive energy. When we lose that we’re in trouble, but otherwise if we can keep that positive energy up we feel good about it,” said Wiscombe.
