Volleyball: Freshman Chemics open season 1-2

The Midland High freshman volleyball team opened its season at the Saginaw Heritage Freshman Quad Tuesday, dropping matches to Hemlock and Heritage before defeating Alma to close out the evening and finish 1-2.

The Chemics opened the night against Hemlock, dropping the first set to the Huskies 15-25 before taking the second set 25-20. Hemlock would then take the final set 13-15 to close out the match.

Midland bounced right back, though, defeating host Heritage 25-14 in the opening set of the next match before losing a pair of close sets, 23-25 and 14-16 to fall to 0-2.

But Midland would come back strong in their final match, blowing out Alma 25-9 and 25-13 for their first win of the season.

Leading the Chemics were Robin Wontorcik with 13 aces, Kaylee LeVasseur with 3 digs, and Katie Hahn with 8 kills and 2 blocks.

The freshman Chemics will be in action again Sept. 18 when they host rival Midland Dow. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
