SYCAMORE — With an Interstate 8 Conference victory on the line, Rochelle’s varsity volleyball team turned to its Most Valuable Player from last season to deliver a big-time performance. Embracing the challenge, Sylvia Hasz shined for the Lady Hubs, scoring 26 kills as Rochelle outlasted Sycamore on the road 25-15, 24-26, 25-21 for its third consecutive victory.
“We really worked well together and we were all very consistent,” Hasz said. “We were smart when we attacked the ball. Clare was putting up some really good balls for me and they were leaving the seams open. I always look for those openings when I go up and hit the ball and they couldn’t seem to close out their blocks."
Senior Clare Green totaled 28 assists in the win, while sophomore Anna Harvey recorded eight digs as the Lady Hubs improved their record to 6-6 overall. Hasz added seven digs and three aces for the Rochelle team, which has won six of its last eight matches after an 0-4 start. The Lady Hubs will host LaSalle-Peru on Tuesday, April 13 at 6:30 p.m.
“It was a really competitive and fun match," Hasz said. "When we won our first match of the season, we learned that if we want to win, it’s not going to come easy,” Hasz said. “We have to work for every set and we have to come out with that mindset.”
