Lady Trojans sweep Valley in 13C opner

MISSOULA – Drummond opened its 2022 District 13C volleyball schedule Tuesday night, only to find a clean sweep of the Valley Christian Eagles underneath the wrapping. The Lady Trojans (2-0, 1-0) won 25-14, 25-11, 25-23.

“We regrouped on Monday and came into this game hungry for a win,” said DHS Head Coach Paige Fickler after the win. “The girls communicated every play and hustled after every ball! I am so proud of their play, especially on the road!

“Every day we strive to be better than the last and they did just that!”

Junior Delaney Wagner stepped up to lead in kills with 11 on the night, also adding a pair of blocks and two aces. Senior Holly Hauptman had nine kills to go along with her four aces and nine digs. Senior Jesse Struna had all 27 of Drummond’s assists.

The Lady Trojans will get the first big test of their district schedule Thursday when they face the Blackhawks in Seeley Lake. Seeley Swan will come into the game on five days rest after winning the Granite Invitational last weekend.
