Spikers play to limit

Cambridge vs. United 

 As the week started off the ladies played United at home Monday, Oct. 6. 

 “There was a lot of good effort put into this game,” stated coach Chad Hamerlinck. “First off the ladies pushed United into three games. Second, all three games very close, and third, they never gave up. There were some really powerful key players, that made United fight even harder.”

 Danyelle English led the night with 12 points and Jasmine Beam added seven. Erica Nimrick was another vital part of these games being so close. She had 23 assists.
