“Elkton/Lake Benton has a very balanced and athletic team,” said coach Jaime Keiser. “I thought we came out ready to play. We were being aggressive on offense and were attacking the ball which kept Elkton/Lake Benton chasing the ball all over the place. When we attacked the ball, Elkton/Lake Benton couldn’t stop us. Our struggle was serve receive. We couldn’t pass the ball and Addy was running all over the place to chase the ball. We also gave Elkton/Lake Benton to many unearned points on defense,” said Keiser. The coach added the third game Winner came out and took the lead right away, but just couldn’t finish. “We just need to take care of the little things.”

As a team, Winner was 93 percent in serving with 5 ace serves, 41 kills, 37 set assists, 73 percent in serve receive with 65 digs.
“We came out ready to play from the start,” said Keiser. “We did a great job of serving and attacking the ball which kept White River out of system. We did a better job in serve receive which has been a weakness of ours,” said the coach.
