Gilbert Christian eclipsed North Pointe Prep in all three sets! Daisy Midthun, a freshman at Gilbert Christian, had amazing serves, and got the team many points, with lots of aces.  We had some killer spikes from Elli Wolthius, a captain of the team, who is only a sophomore this year! "I think we play really great as a team and have great chemistry."- Elli WolthiusKali and her sister Sierra work together to get the greatest spikes. Sierra sets Kali up with a beautiful set, and Kali spikes it down to get many points for this team. These sisters are both lower classmen, Kali is a freshman and Sierra is a sophomore. These sisters will definitely go a long way!

Katie Gross and Brianna Tennison are the dream team when it comes to blocking. With Katie and Brianna's amazing height they are able to jump and block almost any ball that comes over. With these talented ladies and more, they won their first set 25-8. Right after the first set, they went into the second set and backed off some, making it a closer game, but they still won 27-25. When the third set came, they gave their all once again and beat them 25-16, winning the game!
