Palos Hills, IL: Harper Volleyball traveled to Moraine Valley in Palos Hills, and played well in the first couple sets, but Moraine Valley stepped up and won the last 2 sets in lopsided fashion.

Abbie Greenberg had 6 kills on 8 swings. Evie Mounts added 3 kills. Maya Sokolowski had 3 service aces.

In the second set, the chess game continued on the court… there were 6 ties at 5-5, 9-9, 12-12 14-14, 15-15, and 18-18.  Then Harper Volleyball took a 20-18 lead, but lost 21-25. Sokolowski had 3 kills, and a block-kill. Mira Tchohadjieva had 4 blocks; 3 of those were block-kills, and added an attack-kill. Taylor Coutts had 8 assists and an ace. Mounts, vacuum cleaned the back row with 8 digs.

With the match tied at 1 set apiece, Moraine Valley made some adjustments that Harper did not counter…In the 3rd set, after ties at 4-4 and 5-5, Moraine Valley swiped Harper's Queen, and took control of the match for good.  Harper fell behind 9-15 and lost 13-25. Greenberg had 3 kills. Current Harper College player of the week, Abby Major, had 4 digs and an ace.

In the 4th and final set, Harper fell behind early 4-11, 8-13 on the way to a 13-25 loss. Greenberg added 3 more kills for a team-leading 14 for the match. Sokolowski added 3 kills for 9 for the match. Mounts had a team-leading 15 digs for the match. Coutts ended up with 28 assists and 11 digs for a statistical double-double in her attempt to catch Angel Reese.

Coach Bob Vilsoet said, "Although we played well in the first 2 sets, we could not close that pivotal second set, and we did not put all our flashes of brilliance together all at once for the entire match. Moraine Valley is one of the TOP teams in our Region IV, Division II, yet again this year. We are still improving and have a high ceiling."



Next matches will be on Saturday, September 7, at St. Ambrose University, in Davenport, Iowa.
