/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Crestview stepped out of MVAC play Monday night, but it didn’t matter—Mooney couldn’t hang with the Rebels. Crestview cruised to a clean sweep, and Abbey Emch made history, smashing the school’s career kills record with 1,283 and counting. The previous mark, set by Grace Auer just last season, didn’t last long. The Rebels dominated with scores of 25-5, 25-13, and 25-12.

Emch led the charge with 14 kills on the night. Lainy Auer racked up 11 kills, 10 digs, and served up 5 aces for a solid double-double. Sophia Stewart dished out 20 assists, and Jayden Scheller came through defensively with 2 blocks.

On the other side of the net, Mooney had some standout performances as well. Brinkley Bair and Sam Rotunno both tallied 4 kills, with Bair adding 11 digs. Jaida Lane and Mia Rodriguez each chipped in with 3 kills and combined for 8 blocks. Kaelyn Radinsky helped set the table with 10 assists.

Next up, the Rebels hit the road for a league showdown at Liberty on Tuesday, while Mooney heads home to face Boardman on Wednesday.

RASILE RISES UP

/in /by

MCDONALD OH- Maria Rasile is part of a senior class that WS literally the building blocks of McDonald volleyball.  The program started four years ago. Here they are in just four years sitting as a top 5 seed in the district tournament and set up to fight for a chance to go to a district championship.

Maria has been an irreplaceable asset to this team. Unfortunately they have been without stand out setter Megan Klockner for a big chunk of the end of the season.  Maria, and her teammate Gianna Constantino have been asked to revert to a 6-2 offense and both set up the offense when they’re in the back row. It’s not a completely new position for either of them, but to be able to go right into that setter’s mentality on a moment’s notice is what is impressive.

Because of this change, Maria’s stats have become very well rounded.  Not only does she lead the team with 308 kills, but she also now sits at the team lead with 230 assists, and also leads the team in digs with 329.  There aren’t too many players in the area that have proven to be that important to their team’s success.

Rasile took the time this week to talk to YSN’s Anthony Hartwig. They talk about her family legacy at McDonald and what it’s like living up to it, watching the program build from the ground up, and so much more. Check out the latest McDonald Volleyball Player Profile with Maria Rasile.
