MINNESOTA MNVBCA ALL STAR GAME
Monticello, MN
NORTH COUNTRY 3, BADEN 0
30-19, 30-26, 30-21
The North Country team swept Baden in the 20th annual MNVBCA All Star game tonight at Monticello. Two NC players had 10 kills: Amanda Beekman and Emily Palkert. Baden's Shanna Schmiesing had 13 kills in a losing cause. The rosters didn't include any of the future Gophers, and for that matter many players have already left for their respective colleges at the D1 level.
NC established their mark in the first game with a 12-3 advantage at the start. Baden tried to slow the momentum with timeouts at 9-2 and 19-7. Baden did have one run with five points in a row with Samantha Broderius serving late to cut the margin to 26-16. After that both teams traded side outs. NC sided out at 77% with 10/13. Baden only came in at 33% (4/12). That was a huge factor in the NC win. The door was locked for Baden's offense. Marshall's Beekman had five kills in the first game, while Springfield's Krystle Schwanke added four.
The second game was a bit tighter. Baden led early 4-3 during Amber Ryan's serve. Amber Wortz put NC up 8-6 after her serve. In the seesaw nature of the game, the lead changed hands four times. The last lead change came again on Wortz' serve. She had three straight points to put NC up 23-20. A missed serve and a hitting error put Baden down 23-22. However a 5-1 run forced Baden to use their second time out at 28-23. Baden closed with a 3-2 margin, but the point total ran out. Again NC won the side out battle, but this time the % came in at 46%. Baden also came in lower with 29%. Amber Ryan had five points for Baden to lead both teams.
In game three NC broke free with a four possession run with Wortz again serving three of those
points. She had two aces in the run. After a Baden timeout, she stopped her own run with a missed serve. At that point it was NC 16-12. NC continued their march picking off two points here, a couple more there. The fact that Baden did not get first ball side out made it difficult to win the contest. Schmiesing had six kills in game three, but NC had more attack weapons.
NC bounced back with a strong side out % at 69% and Baden came in at 38%.
