Dexter, Missouri - The Lady Cats traveled to Lutheran South High School Saturday to compete in the Class 3 Sectional.  They defeated Rosati-Kain 25-22, 25-7 in the first round and are awaiting their next opponent will be either Lutheran South HS or Ste. Genevieve.

"On the bus on the way up here the girls didn't seem that nervous," commented Dexter head volleyball coach Carmen Morgan.  "I think the nerves hig them when they go here."

"These girls really want it bad," continued Morgan.  "I think that first set they just got a case of the nerves.  They didn't pass the ball well in the first game, but came back in the second game and improved greatly.  We passed better in the second set and the it worked to our advantage."

Addie Kruse compiled 13 digs and 7 kills for the Lady Cats.  Ashlynn Wyman contributed 9 digs and Krysten Garrison finished with 7 digs.

Bailee Williams had 16 set assists.

Garrison was the top hitter with 11 kills.

"Krysten did a good job for us out there.  They have some tall girls and if anyone knows us and Rosati does they know we go to Krysten and Krysten is going to hit on the front row."

Wyman served 2 aces.  Bailee Williams, and Krysten Garrison each added an ace.

"Unforced errors have just plagued us all year and we just need to keep getting better," continued Morgan.  "We have a very tough game ahead of us either way, Ste. Genevieve and Lutheran South are both good programs.  We just have to pass better and not be so tight and nervous."

Good Luck to the Lady Cats of Dexter!
