Episcopal-Acadiana gets tight win over Ascension Episcopal – The Advocate

The Episcopal School of Acadiana volleyball team improved to 13-13 after defeating Ascension Episcopal 3-1 on Tuesday night.

ESA coach Sara Robichaux said she was proud of her teams ability to execute its game plan against the Blue Gators.

We really talked about running our offense in a very specific way, Robichaux said.

Robichaux said she wanted to keep middle hitter Tyler Harson matched up with AES Taylen Guillot as much as possible.

I wanted that matchup because I knew (Harson) could withstand that, she said.

Camille Kane led the Falcons (1-1 in district) with 12 kills. Back-to-back kills in the first game helped ESA tie the game at 17-17 and go on to a 26-24 victory.

(Kane) is 100% or nothing, Robichaux said. She doesnt know any speed but as fast as she can go and we love that.

Robichaux said shes optimistic about her teams prospects because every starter but one is a junior and will return next season. The other starter, Avery Monica, is an eighth grader.

Robichaux said she sees Monica as a future all-state player.

ESA overcame deficits twice more to clinch the match.

ESAs raucous student section helped force AES into service errors late in games. The Falcons won the fourth game 25-22 to clinch the match.

They brought a lot of energy, which was really fun, Robichaux said of the crowd. Actually, in the past theyve been a little too loud to where we cant hear ourselves. So I felt like tonight they were just perfect.

Junior Briley Herpin said accountability and teamwork have been a big part of ESAs success this season.

I think that this game really prepared us for district and the road to state, she said.

Harson said she sees the improvements her team is making and has big aspirations for the team going into its remaining district schedule and the postseason.

At the end of the season? I see us winning state baby, she said.
