It was a successful week for the Sturgeon Bay volleyball program, both on and off the court.
On Thursday, the Clippers hosted Algoma for their DoorCAN fundraising event. The event was a great success, with the volleyball program and community coming together to raise money and support DoorCAN. Thank you to everyone who donated, contributed baskets and baked goods, purchased shirts, and came out to support the event.
The success continued over the weekend, as the Sturgeon Bay JV team won its tournament at Green Bay East. Congratulations to the JV Clippers on an outstanding tournament!
The Sturgeon Bay varsity team also put together a strong day at the Wrightstown Tournament on Saturday, finishing 3–2 and taking fifth place in the Gold Division.
The Clippers opened tournament play with a hard-fought 2–1 loss to Seymour before bouncing back with a 2–0 sweep of Hilbert. Sturgeon Bay then fell 2–0 to host Wrightstown before finishing the day strong with back-to-back three-set victories over Two Rivers and Wabeno/Laona.
Several Clippers turned in strong individual performances throughout the tournament. Audrey Harrington recorded nine kills, four digs and two aces in the three-set match against Seymour, while Makenna Coyhis finished the match with 17 assists and 12 digs.
Harrington continued to lead the offense over the final two matches, totaling 20 kills against Two Rivers and Wabeno/Laona. Izzy Schoeneman added 11 kills, Reen Walker had eight and Prudence Goettleman added six across those two matches. Coyhis directed the Clippers’ offense with 47 assists over the final six sets.
The Clippers closed out the tournament on a high note with consecutive three-set victories over Two Rivers and Wabeno/Laona.
The weekend also featured a major career milestone for sophomore setter Makenna Coyhis, who recorded her 1,000th career assist, an impressive accomplishment for the sophomore.
