Two Days Complete for Missouri 15s at GJNC

<p>We are two days complete in Las Vegas and we have some Missouri teams still with medal aspirations. We had a chance to check out some of the action today across all divisions.</p> <p><strong>Rockwood Thunder 15 Elite</strong> took care of business the first two days as we anticipated. We had a chance to watch back the matchup with Madfrog 15 N Green. Rockwood was dominant in the first set before having a back and forth in the second.  <strong>RS [player_tooltip player_id="124223" first="Laila" last="Person"]</strong>, who has platooned on the season in this position played well. <strong>OH Maya Witherspoon</strong> made some championship-caliber defensive plays in the contest. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="124222" first="Allison" last="Risley"]</strong>, one of the tough outsides had timely kills including the match-winner. </p> <p><strong>HPSTL 15 Royal</strong> went 3-2, which was good enough for a third-place finish and an opportunity to stay in contention for a gold ball. <strong>Jordan Smith</strong> and <strong>Grace Killion</strong> have been productive on the pins halfway through the tournament. <strong>Isabella Bray</strong> has looked good and been strong in the middle. Setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="124225" first="Sammi" last="Bergjans"]</strong> has been as advertised with her play. </p> <p><strong>HPSTL 15 Orange</strong> was one of three teams in their pool to go 5-1 so far in pool play. In the little action we checked out, <strong>Rylie Cepicky</strong> and <strong>Kayla Robertson</strong> were difference makers.</p> <p><strong>Mizuno Club North 15-1</strong> sits at 5-1 in the America Division with one pool play match to go. <strong>OH Avery Ashby</strong> looks much stronger from when we saw her earlier this season and has been putting the ball down. Her counterpart at the net, Middle <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="124218" first="Caroline" last="Wengler"]</strong> has matched her intensity and has been a force. <strong>Felicia Wu</strong> continues to shine from the setter position. </p> <p>The team from Columbia, <strong>Missouri Juniors 15-1</strong> has wrapped up 3rd place in their pool based on what is listed in AES with a 4-2 record thus far.  Their final match on day two was a tough three-set loss to Flyers 15 APX-Jeff. Southpaw <strong>RS [player_tooltip player_id="124226" first="Autumn" last="Bax"]</strong> has been terminal from the right side. <strong>OH Bailey Braun</strong> caught her eye in a couple of matches we set eyes on. Defensively, <strong>Ava Reeser</strong> looked sharp through the first two days. </p>
