St. Joseph’s remains unbeaten in 2-A Central with a pair of wins
The St. Joseph’s Lady Bulldogs remained unbeaten in Conference 2A Central play with a four set win over Maumelle on Tuesday (19-25, 25-20, 25-20, 27-25) and a three set sweep of Quest Academy of Little Rock (25-6, 25-19, 25-8) to complete a perfect week on the court.
Olivia Williams pounded a game-high 17 kills and Presli Webb added 15 for the Lady Bulldogs in the win at Maumelle while Lydia Humphrey and Webb paced St. Joseph’s against Quest with three kills apiece.
Yet, with the conference tournament fastly approaching, head coach Luke Davis is just hoping his team can continue to improve and tighten up things before the regular season concludes.
“We played about as sloppy as we could.” Davis said. “It is too late in the year to continue having days like this.”
St. Joseph’s (10-3, 5-0) will travel to Conway Christian on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and then host a pair of non-conference foes on Wednesday, Oct. 7 (Southwest) and Thursday, Oct. 8 (Atkins).
