DHS' Abigail Plouzek Grabs CRC Spotlight In York

At this past weekend's Crossroads Conference tournament play in York, 6-foot-2 DHS Longhorn sophomore Abigail Plouzek captured the spotlight.

As reported by the York News-Times, Dorchester's Plouzek recorded a match-high eight kills for Dorchester in the third set as the Lady Longhorns won 2-1 over the Mustangs behind scores of 25-20, 10-25, 25-12.

The win advanced DHS' Orange and Black Attack to the CRC quarter-final against top-seeded Meridian on Saturday evening.

Unfortunately, DHS wasn't quite up to the test against Meridian.  The Lady Longhorns lost to the Lady Mustangs in two straight sets, 25-11, 25-22.

The York newspaper lauded DHS' second match effort as Dorchester "went blow for blow with Meridian in a set that saw 13 ties."  Plouzek recorded an ace block that tied the set at 10 and she followed that up with a kill to tie things at 11.

A Dorchester ace from freshman Jacee Zoubek led to a Meridian timeout, and after the break the Mustangs fell behind 14-11 but eventually worked their way back to tie at 16 thanks to hitting errors from the Longhorns.

The final tie came at 22, but Meridian benefited from an attack that landed out of bounds and a block from MHS to give the Mustangs a 24-22 advantage.  Dorchester committed a foul on the following possession to end the match.

The young Dorchester squad is 8-18 on the season, with two regular season contests remaining, including a home game on October 26 against Nebraska Lutheran.
