Several weeks ago now, Winner junior setter Gracie Littau went down with a knee injury. With the Lady Warriors in the midst of a solid 2017 volleyball campaign, someone needed to step up. 

ADDY ROOT!!

In last night's 25-10, 25-10, 25-16 sweep of a 10-8 Gregory squad, Root orchestrated the offense for coach Jamie Keiser to perfection. 

31 times the Winner sophomore dished out assists as the Lady Warriors improved to 12-5 on the year heading into Thursday's home game with Class B White River. 

Big Numbers:

* Abby Marts - 13 kills, 9 digs, 1 ace, 1 block

* Morgan Hammerbeck 11 digs, 8 kills, 6 aces

* JaiWanda Roubideaux - 5 kills

It is a tough thing to come in during the middle of the season and as BW refers to during the video clip enclosed with this piece, it takes a minute for the setter and the hitters to establish that rhythm. 

I'd say Root is coming along NICELY!!
