Wynot opens tourney with a sweep

LINCOLN — Wynot opened defense of its Class D2 state volleyball championship Wednesday with a sweep of Crawford/Sioux County at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Calley Stewart powered the Lady Blue Devils with 20 kills and six blocks, while Makenzie Foxhoven anchored the back-row defense with 18 digs. “This was a great start for us, we have a lot of younger players and I was worried they might come out a little ‘star-struck’ but we didn’t,” Wynot coach Tristan Wieseler said. Wynot raced to a 9-1 lead in the opening set and rolled to a 25-9 win behind eight Stewart kills and seven team blocks. The Lady Blue Devils closed the second set with a 7-2 run for a 25-15 win. Tiara Sudbeck delivered three late ace serves to help put the set away. Wynot controlled the third set to complete the sweep and advance to a 9 a.m. semifinal against St. Mary’s at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
