Ella Kratochvil recorded 14 kills and five digs for No. 2 Pequot Lakes as they swept the No. 7 seed Foley Falcons 3-0 in the Section 6-2A Quarterfinals Monday, Nov. 1.
“I thought we played well,” coach Chris Ganley said. “The girls executed skills well and did the basics correctly, and that’s always good … I do think we made some errors that weren’t typical for us, and I attribute that to nerves. I think we had lots of adrenaline and we were serving out a lot. Other than that, we were solid.”
Maci Martini totaled 12 kills and nine digs while Abi Martin dished out 32 set assists for the Patriots in the win.
Kelsi Martini added 11 digs for the Patriots who advanced to the Section 6-2A Semifinals at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, at St. Cloud Tech.
“We really have to try to find ways their defense can be attacked, and get into our game earlier,” Ganley said. “When we get into our rhythm early, we really build on that.”
