Madi Byrne and Jordyn Wurm stepped their game up and were very productive and dominated the net.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moana Chamberlin led the NSD kill parade with 47. Olivia Bushey was next with 33 kills followed by Wurm with 21 and Byrne with seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMadi\u2019s play at the net doesn\u2019t show in her stats,\u201d Psalmonds said. \u201cShe played great all day long and seemed to always have the right kill or block at the right time to pick us up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Psalmonds, \u201cOffensively we kept putting the ball away and as a team we hit .330, which is awesome, especially at this age when everyone is still learning and making mistakes. We only had 19 swinging errors out of 227 arm swings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large part of NSD\u2019s success at the net, according to Psalmonds, was because of the team\u2019s setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur setters, Brooklyn Young and Olivia Arredondo, distributed the ball well to all the hitters,\u201d Psalmonds said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSD beat Sanctuary VBC of Sacramento, Xcel VBC of East Bay, Tropical Touch of San Jose, ABV Flash of Berkeley and NCVC of Sacramento to finish 5-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSD also had success at the service line, recording 46 aces. Bushey had 12 of those and Wurm 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am really proud of the way they all came together today,\u201d Psalmonds said. \u201cEvery single player contributed in their own way. and they are all playing as a whole right now. It\u2019s exciting to watch them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 15s return to action April 25-27 in Reno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Club volleyball team wins all five of its matches in straight sets at Sacramento tournament Lake County Sports on Facebook SACRAMENTO &gt;&gt; The Never Say Die 15s club volleyball team couldn\u2019t have played much better after running the table Sunday during tournament action at Cal Expo in Sacramento.
