Serves by Jenny "Munchkin" Hardman and Alison Vincent enabled the Cavewomen to give the Vikings a scare, especially when American Fork pulled within 15-13 and 20-1 20-1 8 . Delayne Daniel kills slowed the Cavewomen down, and Pleasant Grove stayed narrowly ahead long enough to win Game 1. Even though a Su'a-filo kill sent American Fork ahead 3-1 in the second game, the Vikings soon secured a 6-4 lead on a McKell Hymas ace. Game 2 turned into a seesaw fight until an Audrey Biggs kill put the Vikings lead at 10-8. The Vikings proceeded to pull away in spite resistance from Cavewomen Jessica Fugal and Allise Larsen. Aided by Fotu kills late in the game, the Vikings clinched a 25-7 win. During Game 3, Dahl's hitting and serving created an 8-1 lead for the Vikings. American Fork fell apart in the final game as Dahl, Daniel, and the Biggs sisters pulverized the Cavewomen 's front line. When Daniel's serving had put the lead at 14-4, American Fork's effort became a lost cause. Ferocious Viking efforts at the net discouraged the Cavewomen so much that they didn't bother making a comeback. A Daniel ace scored the match point for the Vikings. by Dean Von Memmott The Pleasant Grove Vikings rebounded from their heartbreaking loss to Lone Peak by sinking the American Fork Cavewomen in a three-game match during Region Four volleyball action at American Fork October 12. The Vikings won their match by scores of 25-20,25-14,25-7. Pleasant Grove Coach Jamie Schapper said, "Our girls learned from Lone Peak that they needed to fight every minute that they would spend on the court, and they must never let down. Our girls tonight didn't let up one bit, and they beat it to every spot where AF hoped to score an ace." Game 1 went down as the closest round of the October 12 match. Led by Holly Morris and Hayley Su'a- filo, the Cavewomen wiped away an early 2-0 lead posted by the Vikings. When American Fork had clubbed its way to a 4-3 advantage, the Vikings proceeded to fight back. Kim Dahl and Gabby Jenkinson joined sisters Audrey and Kat Biggs in registering kills that eventually secured for Pleasant Grove a tight control of the momentum. ' if - -'-, : Z.
