Mustangs swept by Grundy Center, 3-0

LE GRAND — The East Marshall volleyball team put up as much of a fight as it could behind an aggressive service game, falling in straight sets to NICL West Division power Class 2A No. 8 Grundy Center in Tuesday’s conference opener.

The Mustangs fell 25-10, 25-18, 25-16, to drop to 2-8 overall.

“We served very strong,” said East Marshall head coach Terri Westendorf. “That was one of our keys to staying in the game and I really felt like they took that to heart.

“And my back row really made some super-awesome digs tonight.”

Clare Veren, Rylee Freese and Avery Moore led the Mustangs with two kills each, but the team finished with more errors than successful attacks against the Spartans (9-1, 1-0). Freese and J.J. Westendorf had eight digs each, and Zoeie Fontanini added four more.

Freese served 10-for-10 to lead East Marshall, which went 34-for-38 with three aces as a team. Westendorf was 9-for-10 with an ace, and Veren was 7-for-7 with two aces.

East Marshall is back at home on Thursday for a non-conference clash with BGM (2-8).
