Exeter Girls Volleyball, 2017 Berks County Champs again!!!!!!!

At Wyomissing, Exeter defends its BCIAA title as Alexis Schwenk had 43 assists and five digs; Abby Campbell had 19 kills; Drew Kofke had 14 kills, 13 digs and three aces; Thressia Nixon had eight kills; Sienna Yeager had 16 digs; Blair Eckel had nine digs; Karysa Karas had eight digs and four aces in the Eagles (18-0) win over the Bullets (12-4). For Brandywine Heights, Kaitlyn Gross had eight kills and four blocks; Samantha Bradford had 15 digs and four kills; Natalie Maston had 11 assists and five digs; Caitlin Ambruster had seven assists, five digs, three kills and two blocks.

Veteran Exeter head coach Jason Grove credited a quick start out of the gate — the Eagles scored the first seven points of the match, all on-serve by Sienna Yeager — for ensuring a relatively smooth transition to gold roughly one hour and forty minutes later.

“We got off to a perfect start,” Grove said. “Sienna came out — she said she was nervous — and couldn’t have served any better or played any better defense to start a match. Nothing alleviates nerves like a big lead in Game 1. It’s hard to be upset with anything that happened tonight. We were pretty much in control the entire match.

“Obviously this was our goal heading into the year. Brandywine put up a great fight. They’re undersized and undermanned but against us, but they played fantastic defense and they make you work for every point you get. There were no easy points.”
