VOLLEYBALL: The CHS volleyball team lost a tough contest to Dover-Eyota in the last regular game of the season on October 18.
The girls lost the first game 19-25, then came back to win the second by the same score, 25-19. A close third game ended 21-25, and the girls battled back to win the fourth game 25-19. The final game ended with a score of 11-19. The girls ended their regular season with a 9-14 record.
The team traveled to Rochester over the weekend to compete in the Rochester Tournament.
That intensity was missing in the first game against Rochester Lourdes in which Caledonia lost both its matches, 11-25 and 18-25. The girls learned from the loss and increased the intensity in their match against Rushford-Peterson and won in two games, 25-23 and 25-21.
The team was looking forward to its match-up with Kingsland, which also lost its first game and won its second. After a slow start and a 10-25 loss in the first match, the girls came back to win 27-25 in the second game. The third game went to Kingsland with a 12-15 score, but Koepke was still happy with how the girls played.
The team maintained its intensity going into its third game with Blue Earth. Caledonia lost the first match 12-25, then regrouped to win the next two, 25-23 and 15-13.
Koepke said he hopes the momentum the girls built up during the tournament will carry them through the first round of sections Thursday night. The team meets Cotter in Wabasha at 7:30 p.m.
The winners of the Wabasha-Kellogg and Plainview or La Crescent match will face the winner of the Caledonia-Cotter match at noon on Saturday at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester.
