Fort Recovery volleyball
VERSAILLES, Ohio — The Tigers went into Thursday night’s match undefeated. They had to scratch and claw to stay that way.
Fort Recovery’s volleyball team became just the second this season to take the Division III No. 1 Versailles Tigers to five games, but couldn’t quite hand the home team its first loss in a 25-23, 19-25, 28-26, 20-25, 15-10 defeat.
Versailles improved to 11-0 overall and 3-0 in the Midwest Athletic Conference with the victory, knocking the Indians out of a three-way tie for first place. The only other squad to take the Tigers the distance this year was New Knoxville.
Junior middle hitter Tiff Gaerke had another huge match, racking up 29 kills as the Indians dropped to 6-3 overall and 2-1 in the MAC. The other two losses came against Division IV No. 1 Sidney Lehman Catholic and Division IV No. 6 Old Fort.
Gaerke also led the team with five blocks, and totaled 11 digs and eight points.
Kelly Link had a team-high 16 points and followed Gaerke with 14 kills. Brittany Brackman notched 14 points and 14 digs. Libero Vicki Roessner had 31 digs, and setter Jennalee Post finished with 47 assists.
