NORTH LIBERTY GIRLS VOLLEYBALL RESULTS Last week was a bad week for the North Liberty girls volleyball team. They lost both games they palycd. Against Bremen the scores were 8-15, 16-14 and 9-15. Against Ore-gon-Davis the scores were 12-15 and 11-15, on Wednesday. The B-Team did a little better, losing against Bremen 6-15 and 14-16. but beating Oregon-Davis 15-4 and 15-8. The season's record is now 6-5 for the varsity and 9-2 for the B-Team. Although the experience for the 3 teams were relatively the same, the girls were unable to pull a win over the opponents. The girls played Bremen last year, Bremen winning. But it was the first time Oregon-Davis had been on their schedule. Beth Dixon scored 10 points and Beth, along with Sherri Zellers delivered in the tight spots with their serving. Due to this, the score was close and the three games were played with Bremen. Bremen is in the same sectional as North Liberty. The Oregon-Davis game was not as good, but it should be considered that they played a game the night before. The girls put up a good fight, though in the first game Sherri Zellers served for 11 points in a row. Although Sherri achieved 14 points and Cindy Jaworski 12 points for the B-Team, the team was still not successful. Jill Knowlton had an excellent night at the net, as did the whole team. But for serving as a whole, the team was down. There have been some improvements during the season up to these games, but in these contests the girls just didn't have the good nights.
