A fairly inexperienced Perry volleyball team picked up some early season confidence Thursday night defeating Fort Dodge St Edmond in the season opener.  The Jayettes earned the sweep winning 25-21, 25-11 and 25-21.  The two returning hitters from last year’s squad led the way with Ellie Nielsen and Grace Marburger finishing with 7 kills each.  Sidney Vancil shined in her first varsity start as she was able to get the ball to the big hitters with 19 assists.  Marburger added 4 ace serves Johanna Diw tacked on 3 ace serves.  Nielsen led the way with 11 digs while Victoria Hegstrom provided 3 blocks.  Libero Mariah Duffy finished with 3 digs.

Perry is now 1-0 on the season and will take part in the Bondurant Farrar Skip Anderson Tournament all day Saturday.
