Purse Top Honors With 4-2 Mark

For the second straight year, coach Tom Pleyte and his Wausaukee Rangers claimed the M-O Conference volleyball crown with a 14-2 record.

“At the beginning of the year we were faced with a lot challenges because we had to replace a number of seniors. The rookies continued to improve each week, especially setter Kaylor DeLaet,” explained Pleyte.

Thanks to a triangular sweep Thursday, coach Pleyte and company captured their 5th title in 10 years and were sparked by the stellar play of senior outside hitter Ashlie Zeutzius, the league’s reigning MVP.

“Ashley is the type of player each school gets every four or five years. She works hard at getting better and was extremely patient with the group of new players,” commented Pleyte, who coached at the University of wisconsin-Milwaukee for 15 years and is in the hall of fame there.

Zeutzius looks like she will be on track for the prestigious award again this year, putting up some unbelievable numbers on the season.

The Rangers clinched the crown with a pair of wins in their home triangular Thursday, sweeping Lena before taking three of four from Niagara.

“Ashley is the leader of this team and she kept us together through the hard times,” Pleyte continued.

Peshtigo locked up second place after splitting at the Crivitz triangular. The Bulldogs beat up on Crivitz with a clean sweep after suffering a frustrating loss to Gillett. The Bulldogs concluded the conference season with a 12-4 record while the Tigers were third at 11-5.

Under first year head coach Caitlin O’Leary, the Coleman Cougars finished in the fourth spot at 10-6 following a pair of sweeps of STAA and Suring. Niagara was 8-8, Crivitz and Suring 6-10 each, STAA 4-12 and Lena 1-15.
