We faced one server who racked up the score on us in the first set, but we battled to stay in it. In the second set, we were ahead for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Galvan, \u201cThis is the team we kept facing at the end of a long day last year,\u201d Galvan said of Shasta Elite. \u201cWe need to put in some work before we see them again. In our second round of bracket play we dropped our first set of the day. The girls\u2019 energy was way down. They got pumped up before starting the second set and didn\u2019t lay off their energy. One of our middle hitters, Hannah Clark, coined our new cheer, \u2018Keep the HEAT,\u2019 and it helped with our drive. They were so loud after every play. It was fun to see. These girls have gelled together so well. It\u2019s like one big family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team leaders were middle hitter Emma Davis with 55 digs, 43 kills, seven aces and three blocks, setter Trinity Galvan with 62 digs, 57 assists, 39 service points, 12 aces and 10 kills, middle hitter Grace Williams with 37 service points, 30 kills, nine aces and three blocks, outside hitter Emma Jones with 16 kills and eight aces, and opposite hitter Kaia Bohan with 44 service points and 19 aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bohan reeled off 13 points during a pool-play win over Matrix. During that match she finished with 18 service points, 13 aces, 20 assists and seven kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galvan also praised the contributions of outside hitter Ella Delzompo, who had five aces and four kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c She came through at the end of the day with some powerful hits that helped us,\u201d Galvan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Heat 14-under squad returns to action March 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling volleyball team wins pool, six straight matches before falling to Shasta Elite Lake County Sports on Facebook COTTONWOOD &gt;&gt; The Heat 14-under club volleyball team reeled off six wins in a row before falling to Shasta Elite in the gold bracket championship game on Sunday during tournament action in Cottonwood.
