"I thought it was really good," said Katelyn Sallee, Highlands Head Coach. "We were able to execute and finish pretty quickly also making quite a few adjustments and changes intentionally trying people at different places, giving people different looks. I feel like we have the depth and versatility to do that."
Highlands hit .301 in the match connecting for 34 kills on 83 attempts with nine errors. The Bluebirds also had 34 assists, 11 aces, 39 digs, two solo and two assisted blocks to go with four service, four serve receiving, two blocking and two general ball-hitting errors.

Highlands saw 11 players receive action total. Sophomore Lauren Buemi had four kills and three digs with junior Laura Winkler recording three kills.
"I just go in with a positive attitude and do the best I can," said Sophia Sarakatsannis, Highlands sophomore outside hitter. "We have a pretty supportive team so they all are trying to help everyone get better. Just watching (the upperclassmen) has helped us improve a lot because they see things that maybe the coaches might not and they tell us. They don't hold back and they want everyone to be the best that they can be."
Highlands plays host to Ryle on Tuesday. Game time is 7 p.m.
