LANGFORD – Aberdeen Roncalli fended off an upset-minded Langford Area squad Tuesday night, coming away with a straight-sets non-conference volleyball victory after winning by set scores of 25-22, 25-13 and 27-25.

Cavalier head coach Mandy Smid said her team felt in control through most of the night, but was just off on its aim.

“We had control, but couldn’t get our swings to fall on the right side of Langford’s end line,” Smid said.

Roncalli was able to string a handful of points together to end the opening set, then breezed through the second stanza.

“Set two was a different story,” Smid said, “with very clean play that we played to our potential.”

The third set, however, bore more resemblance to the opener, as the Lions were able to stay in contention to the very end.

“While we had control on our serve receive and digs, our errors piled up and forced us to play out the back and forth match into extra points,” Smid said.

That service control manifested itself into 10 aces for the Cavaliers, who have relied on an aggressive service game throughout the season. Maddie Huber had five of those 10 on Tuesday, while Camryn Bain finished with three.

Bain also had 22 digs, while Huber notched 16 assists. Jaidyn Feickert led the way offensively with 13 kills. Ava Hanson contributed nine kills and a pair of blocks, while McKenna O’Keefe turned in 25 digs.

Roncalli, 11-3 on the season, will remain on the road to face Britton-Hecla Thursday.
