Marshfield
Marshfield faced Capital City at home on Saturday, Aug. 26. The Lady Jays beat the Cavaliers handily 3-0 to take home their first win of the season.
“We were down a player,” said Coach Jarod Olson. “We had some players step up to her position and played great. A lot of unforced errors can attributed to nerves that come with the first match. Overall, I was happy with how the girls performed.”
Marshfield played against Bolivar on Monday, Aug. 28. The Jays swept the competition 3-0 to take home the win.
“Bolivar is a well coached, young team,” said Olson. “Our girls played really well. We missed several serves early, but that’s us being aggressive with our serves. That’s what I want to see in our serving, so we won’t be holding back when it comes to that.”
The Lady Jays are 2-0 to start the 2023 season.
