The Lisbon varsity volleyball team telegraphed a message last week with their first five games — they are a force to be reckoned with.
The Lions got the ball rolling with their first matches of the season as they hosted the Lisbon Volleyball Classic on the 29th, where they swept all four teams who crossed their path.
Two nights later, the Lions defeated the Alburnett Pirates on the road in three straight sets, providing the team with a record of 5-0.
Thursday, Aug. 31
The team traveled to Alburnett two days after winning the Lisbon Classic, where they defeated the Pirates in three straight sets, 25-13, 25-14, and 25-14 in a consistent performance that improved their fortunes to 5-0 and made them the best in the Tri-Rivers East Conference to date.
Kaitlynn Hasselbusch was a steady hand for the Lions, as she provided 30 assists over the night’s three games.
Ava Czarnecki swatted down five kills and Mykala Luzum-Selmon served up five ace serves.
Defensively, Addy Happel helped with 10 digs, and Addi Petersen had a pair of blocks.
