Lady Whippets Close Regular Season

The Minden Whippets girls volleyball team picked up a late regular season victory over a ranked Class B opponent on Thursday.
The Whippets had to move their game up with the Class B Seward Bluejays but the long road trip and different start time didn’t deter Minden from picking up a four set victory.
Minden, the fourth ranked team in Class C-1, improves its record to 25-3 on the season with a 25-19, 20-25, 25-15 and 25-22 win over the ranked Bluejays.
The Whippets head into the subdistricts with momentum from the upset of Seward and aim for a berth in the 2011 state volleyball tournament as play gets underway on Oct. 31.
Minden was led by Hallie Bauer with a season-high 22 kills followed by Carlie Bauer with 16 kills. Bailey Petersen and Alaina Boudreau each added eight kills while Sydney Stadler had five.
Ali Rowse had a season-best 43 assists in the Minden victory while Boudreau added four, Stadler two and Hallie Bauer one.
Hallie Bauer also finished the Seward match with a team-best three ace serves. Carlie Bauer added two aces against the Bluejays and one each from Chelsey Miller and Boudreau.
Hallie Bauer had 33 serve receives in the match followed by Boudreau with 15, Carlie Bauer 13 and Miller six.
