STEAMBOAT SPRINGS \u2014 The Demons have height and power and aren\u2019t afraid to use them.<\/p>\n

Utilizing those advantages on both offense and defense, the Glenwood Springs volleyball team swept Steamboat Springs High School 3-0 to remain undefeated in league play, on Saturday, Oct. 12, at Kelly Meek Gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like this is a giant step backwards for us, just with our mental game\u201d Steamboat head coach Wendy Hall said. \u201cI felt like we were kind of moving in the right direction. \u2026 Then, to come in today with what looked like to me a lackluster effort and performance, it\u2019s really frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sailors kept up with the Demons in the first frame. The teams went back and forth until the set was tied at 12. Four Glenwood errors helped Steamboat take a 16-12 lead, but it didn\u2019t last long. Over the next four points, the Sailors committed errors, allowing the Demons to tie it up at 16.<\/p>\n

Glenwood maintained its lead after going up 20-19. Steamboat kept it close, but fell 25-23.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we felt pretty good,\u201d Steamboat junior outside hitter Jadyn Robson said. \u201cWe were really confident we could push through the other sets. But, we didn\u2019t click through the rest of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The degree of domination grew exponentially from there. Glenwood held a small but steady lead through the first half of the second set until the scoreboard read 15-12. A six-point run ballooned their advantage and got the Demons within four points of a victory.<\/p>\n

Kills from senior outside hitters Shanik Zambrano and Kaitlyn Johnson sealed the 25-16 victory. The pair were pounding away on defense as well, prompting cheers from the Demons fans each time a block forced the ball to the floor with a boom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked on blocking this week. We knew coming into Steamboat we had to shut down No. 2,\u201d Glenwood Springs head coach Kehau Rust said. \u201cThat was our goal to get a block up on her, and I think we did really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

No. 2, Steamboat junior outside Marcada Baker, got her hand on the ball often, but nearly every time, was contested at the net. She and the Sailors struggled to find a rhythm in the second and third.<\/p>\n

Johnson started the third with a thunderous blow. Her kill from the left side slammed into the hardwood in front of the Sailors back line, blazing by before anyone could reach a hand out.<\/p>\n

The Demons quickly established a 15-4 lead. After a Steamboat timeout, during which Glenwood didn\u2019t leave the floor, the Demons expanded that to 23-7.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a poor job making adjustments,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI felt like the coaches weren\u2019t communicating clearly enough, because we were saying things to them, and they weren\u2019t carrying out what our suggestions were.\u201d<\/p>\n

Refusing to end a set with a single-digit score, the Sailors rallied. A mini three-point, capped by a tip by senior middle blocker Sarah Hannaway, got Steamboat to 10. The home team added four more points before Glenwood ended the afternoon and won 25-14, thanks to a kill from sophomore middle Charlotte Olzewski.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have three home games this week. and we have a big battle against Eagle Valley on Tuesday,\u201d Rust said. \u201cI think going into that still undefeated in league is huge for us. I just can\u2019t let the girls get it into their head. We got to come out and fight hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
