Pheasants power past Parkston
Just weeks after falling to the Parkston Trojans in the semi-finals of the Pentagon volleyball tournament in a nail biter, Parker was set to host the Trojans at home with the post season in the near future. This time the Pheasants put together arguably one of their best matches of the season, winning in straight sets 3-0.
The first set was back and forth with both teams battling to the end. The set was tied at 24-24 and again 25-25 with the Pheasants finally taking the victory 28-26.
The second set was also close early but Parker pulled away down the stretch, winning 25-19 thanks again to the hitting of Brooke Berens, Halle Berens and Katie Bialas.
The third frame was also the Pheasants, as Parker took the win 25-19 for a 3-0 sweep.
The offense was powered by Brooke Berens with 12 kills while Halle Berens had 12 and Bialas eight. Defesively, Janae Olson had four blocks while Lexi Even had 27 digs and Josie Leberman 13. Terryn Fuller also dished out 32 assists.
The win was the third in a row for Parker (all sweeps) as they look to finish the season on a hot streak next facing Flandreau on Tue. Oct. 19.
