The Taylor volleyball team brought their brooms to Goshen as the Trojans swept the Maple Leafs 3-0 on Saturday afternoon.
"The game against Goshen was just so fun to be a part of," Arbuckle said. "I am a firm believer that when you are having fun, you play better, and we definitely celebrated and played together well."
While their offense dominated the scoreboard, Taylor's defense limited Goshen's marginal attack. Goshen was held to a .083 hitting percentage, which helped freeze their set wins at zero. Junior Alex Reel led Taylor's back row with a game-high 16 digs.
"Our back row defense is relentless," head coach Holly Motheral said. "It is tough to get a ball down against them when they are in position. Our blocking also stepped up big time which we have been inconsistent with all season, so that was very encouraging."
"First round of conference definitely had its ups and downs, but I am very excited going into this second round of conference with a win over Goshen," Motheral said. "The key will be to get everyone healthy and continue to play aggressive, disciplined volleyball."
A win over Spring Arbor on Wednesday night improved the Trojans' record to 9-9 and 6-4 in the Crossroads League. Taylor volleyball looks to dominate again when they face Saint Francis at home on Oct. 7 at 7 p.m.
