Awesome Blossoms take third in L-O volleyball tournament

The Awesome Blossoms beat Hope Lutheran 25-19, 17-25, 15-11 to take third place in the LeRoy-Ostrander volleyball tournament Saturday.

BP (17-6 overall) beat Glenville-Emmons 25-17, 25-13, topped Grand Meadow 25-7, 25-18 and fell to Alden-Conger 25-20, 25-18.

The Blossoms were playing without their libero Nicole Inwards, who was out with an illness.

“Lizz (Willert) did a nice job of covering Nicole’s position, but the juggling of players and the low number of subs that we worked with for the day, was definitely a challenge,” BP head coach Gina McLaughlin said.

BP Stats: Taylor Hagen, 29 kills, 13 aces, 10 digs, 23 blocks; Madison Worke, 5 kills, 7 aces, 14 digs, 59 assists, 12 blocks; Lauren Larkoski, 14 kills, 4 aces, 23 digs, 2 assists, 7 blocks; Sara Noble, 8 kills, 16 digs, 1 block; Lizz Willert, 3 aces, 21 digs; Delaney Nelson, 2 kills, 14 digs; Molly Walsh, 9 kills, 8 digs, 9 blocks; Mariah Holland, 3 aces, 16 digs; Gracie Grunklee, 1 kill, 2 blocks
