Experience and size matters on some days, however Saturday afternoon at Rochester, both were on display.
The seventh ranked Dragons (50-12-3) overcame a gutsy and young Falcons (12-20-8) team, as well as terrible officiating to win in three games 25-18, 25-21, 25-18 over the host Rochester Falcons and will now move on to a war with third ranked Birmingham Marian (57-13) in a regional semifinal on Tuesday night at Lake Orion.
The win gave the Dragons their second district championship in 16 years and back to back crowns.
Lake Orion struggled with it's serving, consisting a lot of service errors in the contest and kept Rochester in the game.
The Dragons were led by senior Liz Kaulgar with ten kills and 13 digs. Senior Maddie Hutchinson had 19 digs while senior Dana Schrauben added 17 assists. Junior Sophie Murdock added eight kills and 14 digs.
Dragons coach Bob Howey knows that his team has to do better if they want to beat Birmingham Marian but his girls are ready for the task in hand. "We're just trying to get to a certain level, and the next game it will be intense," Howey said to reporters. "(My players) are fired up for it, it's what they've been looking forward to."
