‘Dogs top Warriors, reach regional finals

1A State Volleyball Playoffs

By Charles Curcio, Sports Editor

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Albemarle’s fourth-round playoff matchup would be the fourth time this season that the ‘Dogs would take the court against rival West Montgomery.

Both teams had gone further than any volleyball teams in the schools’ histories by reaching the fourth round of the 1A playoffs.

The Bulldogs extended that record by one more game with a 3-1 win over the Warriors to claim the sectional championship.

Two players for Albemarle (26-1) posted double-doubles with Mariah Lowder’s 28 kills and 23 digs, along with Gabrielle Lowder’s 10 kills and 19 digs.

Paige McConologue had nine kills and 18 digs while Samantha Braunsberg had five kills and 38 assists.

Albemarle would be put to the test by West Montgomery (20-5) immediately as the Bulldogs found themselves down 5-1 in the first set.

The combo of McConologue and La-Shirrell Jones would spark a run for Albemarle with a double block at the net. The ‘Dogs built a 14-10 lead and would win Game 1 25-20.

West won the first three points of the second game and Albemarle again rallied with a 13-3 run to build a seven-point lead enroute to a 25-16 win.

The Warriors built a lead in Game 3 that they would not give up this time, scoring 12 of the first 16 points in the set.

Albemarle would get within a point at 20-19 but West scored the final five points to win the third set 25-19.

Game 4 was all Bulldogs as the hosts opened up the set with an 11-1 win and would claim the match with a 25-15 score.

“Every time we get up to Game Three, it seems like we have to come from behind. We still have things to work on and a lot to learn,” Albemarle head coach Joanne McConologue said..

The Bulldogs host the 1A regional finals tonight at 6 against 29-1 Rosman.

The winner of tonight’s match will play the Perquimans/Pender winner this Saturday at noon for the 1A state championship at Reynolds Coliseum on the NC State campus.
