MANISTEE — Despite nearly three weeks off since its last match, Manistee Catholic Central didn’t look rusty.
The Sabers rolled to a 25-10, 25-19, 25-19 West Michigan D League win against Onekama on Tuesday night.
“I asked them to come out and play hard and call the ball,” said MCC coach Lauren Welsh, “and just put everything they’ve got into it.”
MCC, which hadn’t played since Aug. 29, surged to a 10-point lead in the first game, then rallied from a five-point deficit in the second game as Amber Robke served up six straight points to put the Sabers ahead for good. The third game began with 10 straight side outs before MCC slowly pulled away from Onekama.
Robke led the Sabers by serving up 20 points, including seven aces, to go with five assists while Alysha Heck had seven points, 15 kills and 10 digs. Alexis Miller had six points, Kaytlin Heck had three kills, 11 assists and six digs and Meghan Miller chipped in three kills.
