Around the Granite State: Wednesday’s Roundup

The Exeter High School girls volleyball team picked up a 3-1 road win over Londonderry on Wednesday. Scores were 19-25, 25-15, 25-19 and 25-15.

After a slow start, the Blue Hawks (2-2) bounced back behind Sam Wiberg, who had 28 assists and nine digs, and Kelsey Pierce, who had 29 digs and eight aces. Courtney Chouinard had six kills, two aces and a block for Exeter, which travels to face Merrimack on Friday.

“(Wednesday) was a great team effort,” Exeter coach Mike McDonnell said. “Our communication seems to be improving with every test. This was one of the best defensive efforts of the season for Kelsey (Peirce). Her passing and her digs were pure precision and she showed great anticipation on every play. Top notch effort by our Libero.  Couple that with a great effort by Sam (Wiberg) who distributed the ball beautifully throughout the match and it translated into a nice win to bring us back to even.”

The Grizzlies fell at home to the Blue Devils by scores of 22-25, 25-14, 28-26 and 25-22.

Bridget Kennerson led Goffstown (1-4) with nine kills and Bailey Gagnon had 21 assists. As a team, the Grizzlies recorded seven aces and 16 digs. Goffstown will play at Timberlane on Friday.
