The Allen Red Devil volleyball team swept Fort Scott Community College in three straight sets on the road Wednesday.
Allen eked out the first and third sets by scores of 25-22, while cruising to a 25-18 victory in the second.
“It was definitely a confidence boost and a good atmosphere to play in,” said Allen head coach Maria Aitkins. “The girls came in pretty ready to play. Once everybody settled into their roles, everything else started to take care of itself.”
Offensively, Veronica Agostini led Allen with a team-high 11 kills while Lexi Deweese had eight and Abby Altic went for seven.
At the serving line, Isabella Simione recorded a team-high 27 aces.
“We just tried to stay as calm as possible, it’s a game of mistakes and we can’t let them snowball,” Aikins said. “Staying level-headed and understanding what our role is was key. If everyone shows up every night, we’ll be a good team.”
“They served pretty aggressively and were more consistent on the passing and serving line,” Aikins said. “We were able to dictate scoring more, dictate the tempo and keep them out of system. The blocking got better from Neosho.”
Agostini led the Lady Red Devils with 12 points, Altic had 10.5, Gallegos, 8.5, and Lexi Deweese, 8 points.
“Fort Scott is a very scrappy team and we did a good job of staying disciplined in certain times,” said Aikins.
Allen hosts the Ottawa University JV squad Monday at 6:30 p.m.
