League Champions 2009

10/30/09 - Painesville Riverside won its first district title with a 25-21, 25-16, 25-18 win over Mayfield. Riverside had ended Mentor's streak of 21 straight district titles in the semifinal.

The Wayne County Athletic League flexed its muscles last night as Smithville knocked out Orrville 25-16, 25-22, 25-23, 30-28, led by Jenna Pew with 28 kills, 15 assists, 13 digs and two blocks. The Smithies thus avenged losses to Orrville in last year's district semifinal and in the title match of this year's Lima Bath Invitational.

But that wasn't all. WCAL runner-up Dalton also advanced with a heart stopping 26-24, 25-23, 29-27 win over Garfield Heights Trinity, overcoming game one deficits of 23-17 and 24-21.

Padua Franciscan advanced to the regional with a hard fought 25-18, 23-25, 25-21, 25-18 win over Beaumont, which was somewhat easier than three weeks ago when Padua had to go five with the Blue Streaks. But the Bruins still had to work hard to overcome Beaumont's phenomenal defense, which repeatedly thwarted several blasts from Leary and others.

Kaitlyn Leary paced the Bruins with 26 kills, while Meredith Bolmeyer and freshman Mary Djukic put up 24 and 15 assists, respectively. Libero Lauren Goebel led the back row with 18 digs and 21 serve receives and the Bruins' top server was Salina DeFranco. Sophomore outside Nicole Trapp, stepping up to help Christie Fritsche who was coming off an illness, had a career night with 16 kills, and when Leary wasn't in front row, she was.

Beaumont was led by middle Amanda Videmsek, sophomore outside Midori Harrison, who had some great somersault digs, setter Abby Cvelbar, and libero Regina Zale.

All-tournament junior setter dished out 62 assists and had 17 digs. Senior libero Sarah Seidlak had 28 digs, was 34-37 in serve-receive, and served 14 with five aces.
