Bear Lake sweeps rival Onekama
It’s probably safe to say: The Lakers are on a roll.
The latest to the list was their 25-9, 25-10, 25-9 West Michigan D League win over rival Onekama on Tuesday. Long service runs and a heavy attack up front helped keep Bear Lake in the driver’s seat most of the night.
“We just had great communication,” said Lakers coach Amy Falk. “They worked really well together in the (Pentwater) tournament this weekend, and I think they just came in ready again.”
Two days after topping the eight-team field in Pentwater, Emileigh Ferguson and Hannah Harrington again led the Lakers against the Portagers.
Ferguson had a team-high 13 kills with 11 points from the service line, which included five aces. Harrington’s serve gave Onekama fits throughout en route to 21 points and two aces, to go with four kills.
Also for Bear Lake, McKenna Fink had 11 points with four aces and a team-high 12 assists. Jill Johnson led the Lakers in digs with seven.
“They’re just really working hard at what we’re doing; their skills are improving as we go,” Falk said. “We want to keep the momentum, and keep the positive attitude, which is a huge thing.”
