WOODSTOCK – Marian Central’s girls volleyball team had gone to the limit in three of its first five matches of the season.

On Wednesday against Rosary, it was no different as Emma Hussey had 12 kills as the Hurricanes won, 25-21, 31-33, 25-19, in their Suburban Christian Conference Blue Division opener. Marian coach Laura Watling said the Game 2 loss actually helped her team.

“Even though we lost that second game, I was so excited with the play of my girls,” Watling said. “I think that created a positive going into that third game. We really pushed them, and all the pressure was on them and my girls felt kind of loose after that second game.”
