This week’s girls play of the week comes from Aniya Warren of Benet Academy volleyball. The Redwings took on Metea Valley, in a matchup between a pair of one loss teams. Warren’s play helped Benet win a commanding first set, and eventually earn a match sweep over the Mustangs. This play is presented by Trunnell Insurance.
Aniya Warren lays out for the assist
Benet receives the ball and sets up Tarnow for the kill, but it gets blocked. The first Redwing to react is Morgan Asleson, who makes a great dig. Warren wastes no time and scrambles to make the diving set which perfectly falls to Ava Novak for the kill. A great defensive play from Warren and her Redwing Teammates.
Let’s take one more look in slow-motion… This play helped bring Benet’s first set lead to 23 to 11.
