WELLSVILLE OH- Although Western Reserve volleyball has found plenty of success over the last several years, they e always ran into Wellsville, and have been unable to solve the Tigers puzzle.

It was the one two punch of Alyvia Hughes and Lisa Eichert that did a ton of damage for the Devils. Both finished in double figures in the kill category. Eichert tallied 18, while Hughes had 16. The two combined for 10 service aces too as Hughes got 6 while Eichert had 4.  Both players pushed together a double double with their dig contribution. Alyvia dug up 11 while Lisa led the team with 24.  Angelina Cappabianca was also in double figure digs with 17.  She finished with 5 kills as well.  Raelynn Meyer set up the offense leading the team with 19 assists.

BLUE DEVILS PASS EARLY ROAD TEST

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- The McDonald Blue Devils have quickly become one of the top volleyball programs in the area.  The program in just its 4th year of existence traveled to Columbiana looking to improve on the 16 wins they achieved just a season ago.

The Clippers  coming off their own successful 17 win season entered Saturday’s contest looking to fill in the gap of talent lost to graduation. It was the experience of the Blue Devils that proved its might on Saturday winning in 4 sets 25-18, 23-25, 25-14, 25-19. The first two sets of the match showcased the talent of both teams as they exchanged set victories. The 3rd set the Blue Devils leaned on their experience to separate themselves from the Clippers en-route to the 4 set victory.

“During that 3rd set our youth played against us.  We have a lot of talent on this team but there’s a mental aspect to this game as well we need to work on.” ” That being said McDonald is a very good team, I was very happy with how we played defensively”-Columbiana Head Coach Jennifer Martin.

Gianna Constantino and Maria Rasile kept that defense busy all day.  Constantino led the way with 20 kills and 23 digs. Rasile contributed 15 kills and 20 digs of her own. Megan Klockner contributed to the Blue Devil offense with 42 sets. Columbiana’s Ellie Jackson had a great all around performance 7 kills, 18 digs, 21 sets. Cameron Perkins also contributed a strong performance with 9 kills, 25 digs, 14 sets. Maryn Hepler and Ava Heinrich solidified the Clippers defense with 18 and 24 digs respectively.

The Clippers coach knows the season has a long way to go ” One game at a time we’ll put this behind us and reset at practice on Monday”  McDonald looks to continue their wining ways on Monday as they travel to Maplewood. Columbiana will welcome in EOAC rival United on Tuesday.

WESTERN RESERVE VOLLEYBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH KRISIE HUGHES

/in /by

BERLIN CENTER OH- When you think of a family name that has defined Western Reserve volleyball through the years, most people have Hughes pop into their mind. Aleah Hughes shined as a Blue Devil, and went on to have an amazing career at Youngstown State, her sister Alexis did the same, and now Alyvia is featured as a main stay on the team. So the next logical step would be to put a Hughes in the head coaching chair. Krisie Hughes takes the reigns for her first year at the helm of a program that is coming off a 22 win season.

Coach Hughes was kind enough to join YSN’s Running Point this week to give us a sneak peak of the 2022 Blue Devils. She talks with Ty Bartell and Anthony Hartwig about her family legacy, the pressures of keeping up the success of the program,  and much more. We are just over a week away from the start of the season, make sure you’re ready by checking out Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Krisie Hughes.
