A year ago South Elgin may have been too one-dimensional to make the adjustments needed to defeat Elgin on Tuesday night. However, with the emergence of middle hitters Allison Osborne, Amanda Nadler and Adriana Loiacono, the Storm is much more versatile this season and used that asset to its advantage en route to a 25-16, 25-19 victory over the Maroons at Chesbrough … ]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:14:04 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/15093730-393/girls-volleyball-south-elgin-downs-rival-elgin.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/15093730-393/girls-volleyball-south-elgin-downs-rival-elgin.html An impressive game two performance may not have been enough for South Elgin to upset top-seeded DeKalb in Thursday’s title match of the Elgin 4A Regional Volleyball Championship match, but it was certainly reason for the Storm to look forward to 2012. DeKalb’s 2-0 triumph started from initial leads of 5-0 and 9-1 en route to a 25-7 game one win while … ]]> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:12:12 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8458146-393/top-seeded-dekalb-too-much-for-south-elgin.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8458146-393/top-seeded-dekalb-too-much-for-south-elgin.html
The South Elgin girls volleyball team has seen its share of three-game matches this year. Wednesday was no exception, as the Storm beat the Whip-Purs 25-22, 20-25, 25-20 in nonconference action in Hampshire on Teacher Appreciation Night Wednesday. By now, South Elgin is used to the pressure, drama and excitement that comes with that third game. “We go into regionals Tuesday, and … ]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:36:38 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8312704-393/south-elgin-responds-to-game-three-pressure.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8312704-393/south-elgin-responds-to-game-three-pressure.html
In a week since a disappointing loss at Elgin, the South Elgin volleyball team has done a complete 180. The turnaround continued on Monday in a match that resembled the Storm’s entire last week of play, as South Elgin recovered from a slow start on senior night to beat St. Edward 21-25, 25-20, 25-22 in non-conference play. “We have our ups and … ]]> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:18:14 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8273392-393/south-elgin-bounces-back-to-defeat-st.-edward http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8273392-393/south-elgin-bounces-back-to-defeat-st.-edward
Over a two-week period, the volleyball teams from Elgin and South Elgin will get to know each other well with three matches, capped by a regional semifinal match. The first shots were fired Thursday and the short-handed Maroons used the occasion of their homecoming match to deliver a 25-21, 25-19 jolt to the Storm in an Upstate Eight crossover battle. “We’ve probably … ]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:32:58 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8202503-393/elgin-shines-in-win-over-south-elgin.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/8202503-393/elgin-shines-in-win-over-south-elgin.html
Change is good. At least it was for South Elgin on Tuesday night. Not only did the Storm switch up their lineup, but in the process they also changed their fortunes against U46 rival Bartlett. With junior Corbin Kehe moving into the setter position and Bri Reum filling for Alison Osborne (ill) the Storm, now in their sixth year of varsity play, … ]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:25:15 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/7915130-393/south-elgin-picks-up-first-win-against-rival.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/7915130-393/south-elgin-picks-up-first-win-against-rival.html
With as well as South Elgin played on Thursday night it was hard to believe it was the first game of the season and that the Storm only had three returning players from a year ago. Instead the Storm looked like an experienced veteran club in mid-season form as they defeated host Larkin 25-11, 25-21 in Upstate Eight Conference action. “I didn’t … ]]> Thu, 01 Sep 2011 21:13:58 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/7415050-393/young-storm-squad-tops-larkin.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/7415050-393/young-storm-squad-tops-larkin.html ELGIN - It takes more than a big early defict or even a bad regional tournament seed to frustrate St. Edward's volleyball team. The Green Wave, seeded fourth behind questionable higher seeds in an Oregon Class 2A Regional later this month, spotted Class 4A South Elgin two big early leads Thursday night in non-conference action before roaring back for a 25-21, 25-15 … ]]> Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:22:02 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/4453409-393/green-wave-wins-with-authority.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/southelgin/girls_volleyball/4453409-393/green-wave-wins-with-authority.html
