With the Morris Lady Redskins hosting a Class 3A volleyball regional, the ‘Skins got one last chance to play on their home floor on Tuesday night when they took on traditional volleyball state power Joliet Catholic Academy in semifinal action. The Redskins' season came to an end as JCA beat Morris in two sets 25-20, 25-13, while advancing to the regional championship.

Playing in front of a home crowd and taking on one of the best teams in the state, the Redskins came out of the gates with a lot of energy and jumped out to a 3-1 lead on an emphatic kill by Morris sophomore JoAnna Nowicki.

“We were so excited, especially after winning last night (against Coal City). It just pumped us up for tonight,” Morris senior setter Katie Chatten said. “We were ready, but they are just a really good team.”
