Game Details - Girls Volleyball

Corner Canyon showed tremendous resiliency to advance to the 6A semifinals on Thursday at UVU. With the fourth-seeded Chargers dealing with numerous injuries, and then twice falling down a set, they continued to fight and ultimately prevailed against No. 5 seed Syracuse for the 23-25, 25-20, 14-25, 25-20, 15-13 victory. “We played like team today and that teamwork was insane, the girls played for each other and that’s what every coach wants,” said Corner Canyon coach Mindy Ricks. “After taking control in the fourth set we just used that energy and kept pushing through in the fifth set and then things just started falling into place and clicking.” Ricks had high praise after the match for her setter Brooke Stauffer, who was dealing with several injuries but still battled throughout had a tremendous game setting. “To see her come out and play her heart out was awesome,” said Ricks. Halle Bills led Corner Canyon with 19 kills, with Saryn Kirkham chipping in with nine kills. “She was phenomenal, she sees the court so well and can take those shots when they’re open if they leave her shot,” said Ricks about Bills hitting. “Because she she’s the court so well she’s able to communicate with her team and help them find those spots as well.” Madelin Newbold came up big at the net for Corner Canyon with numerous key blocks, especially in the decisive fourth and fifth games.
