The host Cougars were to take on Redford Thurston in Wednesday’s second semifinal encounter. Senior Rayna Yetts was an all-around catalyst for the winners, delivering a team- high 13 kills while excelling at every other role next-level players are asked to perform during win-or-go-home match es. “I am so glad I get to play with Rayna and not against her,” Gendjar said, smiling. “I have to face her in practice and she hits the ball 10 times harder than a lot of other girls.” While Yetts sparkled, she was not the only star in the Chargers’ galaxy of standouts. Junior middle hitter Anne Yost maintained her strong string of performances at the net, demoralizing the Patriots with a steady stream of blocks and hard-to-handle kills.
