MIDDLETOWN >> Middletown Middle School\u2019s A team beat Upper Lake Middle School 18-25, 25-22, 15-13 in volleyball action Wednesday evening in Middletown, leaving both teams at 5-2 in the league standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe tried switching up a few positions in the first set and it did not work out well for us, so we adjusted back to our original positions,\u201d Middletown head coach Niki Emberson said. \u201cI am so proud that the girls were able to reset and rally back to win the next two games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery set was super competitive tonight,\u201d Upper Lake head coach Darrin Brown said. \u201cWe played great volleyball tonight, just sometimes the ball doesn\u2019t land in your favor. Both teams left it all out on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play of libero Mia Martin and her 14 digs \u201cwas the glue that held us together and kept us in the long rallies,\u201d Emberson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stella Brand had 14 assists for the Broncos, Camila Galvan added three kills and an ace, Lily Day finished with five kills and three aces, and Alexis Theodorou contributed eight digs, four kills and an ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so proud of these girls,\u201d Emberson said. \u201cThey have proven that they can battle back when they all behind. We still have work to do, but working with this group has been so much fun this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Upper Lake, Kaleah Allison led the way with five kills, Cali Munoz had four kills, and Azalia Munoz served up seven aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams are entered in the Spikefest hosted by Upper Lake on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to competing,\u201d Emberson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Broncos and Wildcts return to league play Monday. Middletown hosts Lucerne while Upper Lake travels to Lakeport to play Terrace School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the B match Wednesday, Middletown improved to 7-0 in league play with a 25-7, 25-14 win over Upper Lake, a match that was all about serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first set, Madison Lewis served 10 aces in a row and 11 points overall for the Broncos. In the second set, Aleah Kilstrom served 13 points with 12 aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s our first server and she quickly brought the score to 14-2,\u201d Emberson said of Kilstrom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lola Fults and Abby Tribby contributed three aces each to Middletown\u2019s win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese girls are on a roll!\u201d Emberson said. \u201cThey are the most positive group of girls I have ever worked with, and we are all having so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
