CLOVERDALE >> In a first-place showdown Thursday, it was all Cloverdale. Actually, it was pretty much all Ronni Hatcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloverdale\u2019s sophomore middle hitter carved up the Kelseyville High School defense with 24 kills, powering the Eagles to a 25-15, 25-12, 25-21 victory over the previously undefeated Knights in North Central League I action at Cloverdale High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time this season, Kelseyville (5-1) finds itself someplace other than atop the league standings, a position now occupied by the Eagles (6-1), who have a half-game lead and are one up in head-to-head matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had no answer for No. 11 (Hatcher),\u201d Kelseyville head coach Donelle McCallister said. \u201cCloverdale had the better team tonight. Their defense was strong and their offense stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many missed serves and hitting errors didn\u2019t help the Knights\u2019 chances. They also were called for being in the net on many occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing called in the net 10 times didn\u2019t help,\u201d McCallister said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if the girls were in the net but man \u2026 he (official) was watching us like a hawk. Still, we just plain out lost this match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nyejzniya Krohn and Matisyn Mateer led the Knights up front with seven and five kills, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVictoria Rodriguez came in and made a difference in defense in that third set,\u201d McCallister said. \u201cFreshman setter Riley Hanson and freshman opposite Jordyn Wurm played well under pressure. After a slow start, libero Cali Schnabl buckled down and passed well throughout the match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hatcher, who also led the Eagles with six blocks, received plenty of help from her teammates, especially Cami Donahoo with 12 kills and 17 service points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloverdale travels to Lower Lake (0-6) on Tuesday while Kelseyville hits the road to play Fort Bragg (3-3). Junior varsity matches at both sites begin at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dropping the first set, Kelseyville\u2019s JV team rallied for a 24-26, 25-23, 15-9 win over Cloverdale to remain perfect in league play at 6-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey Sperber led the Knights with 12 kills and three aces, and Grace Hobbs contributed 12 assists and three aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd she played a great defensive game,\u201d McCallister said of Hobbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCloverdale once again played a really great game. Our girls cut down the errors in the third set and played consistently enough to win,\u201d McCallister added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
