Lane, Rogier pile on aces in five-set thriller

Lakeside 3, Clark Fork 2

PLUMMER — There's not much Aurora Lane can't do when it comes volleyball.

The Clark Fork High senior registered a team-high 14 aces, a team-high 11 kills, and a tied for team-high 11 digs as the Lady Cats fell to the Lady Knights in five sets (25-20, 22-25, 23-25, 25-11, 13-15) in Tuesday night's 2A Scenic Idaho Conference matchup — the season opener for both teams.

"Aurora was dependable through her entire rotation," Clark Fork High head coach Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey said. "Her serve receive has never been so dialed in, and her spot serving earned us important points."

Freshman Vanessa Rogier had quite the varsity debut, finishing with 10 kills, nine digs, seven aces and a block. She went on an 8-point serve streak to help Clark Fork capture the fourth set by a wide margin.

"Vanessa showed exactly why she's earned her position this season," coach Kiebert-Carey said. "That girl is a competitor. She had some insane kills."

Freshman Kiylah Anderson's cool presence was welcomed as she put up a team-high 34 assists and 11 digs. 

Coach Kiebert-Carey said she saw moments of brilliance from her team, which led 12-10 at one point in the fifth, and is encouraged by the performance. Last season against Lakeside, Clark Fork attacked just 29 times across three sets. This year, they posted 132 attacks across five sets.

"This season is seeing a lot heavier emphasis on aggression; I think those numbers show that," coach Kiebert-Carey said. "They also show how hard Kiylah worked to get our hitters the ball."

Senior Piper Scarlett added 11 digs, junior Nora-Jean Hoy nine kills and a block for Clark Fork (0-1), which hosts a non-league matchup against Timberlake Thursday for their home opener.
