VOLLEYBALL: Lafayette Christian School played a thriller against visiting Skipstone on Monday.

It was a hard-fought match that went the distance, and Lafayette Christian ended up winning the fifth and deciding set.

Lafayette Christian lost two of the first three sets, but it won the final two to capture the home win over a team it could end up playing in the state playoffs.

Trailing two sets to one, Lafayette Christian coach Rene Gomez said he told the girls “we’ve got to show some fight,” and they responded with a strong closing effort.

The final set was tied at 14-14 when a Skipstone player had a service error, setting up match point.

Jenna Vedrenne, who is on track to set a school single-season records for aces, finished with an ace to give her team the victory.

Vedrenne had a big game with 10 kills and eight aces, and Beth Ann Wyzykowski also had 10 kills.

Gomez said Wyzykowski and Roni Bowman “had about 16 assists between them.”

Gomez also praised Abbey Hudson and Christine Vedrenne for their defense.

“They really anchored our defense and made big plays,” Gomez said.

Hudson, a sophomore, had eight digs.

“For a sophomore to come in and really anchor that defense, she did an excellent job,” Gomez said.
