Dowagiac Quad

The Chieftains were defeated by Lakeshore 26-24 and 25-17, while they defeated Hopkins 25-20 and 25-20. Dowagiac lost to Watervliet in its third match of the night, 25-16 and 25-18.

“As a team we continue to get better every time we step on the court,” said Dowgiac Coach Amber Todd. “Right now, as a whole, we are making too many unforced errors and having to fight to catch up in sets. Our number one goal with this young team is to continue to work hard and to trust the process. We have to continue to get into the gym and get in as many reps as we can to increase our volleyball IQ, mentality and confidence.”

Maggie Weller led the Chieftains with 18 kills, seven blocks 16 aces, while Abbey Dobberstein finished with 11 kills, 18 digs and three blocks. Marlie Carpenter added 10 kills and three blocks. Brooklyn Smith finished the night with 52 assists, 20 digs, three blocks and three aces.
