7 AAU Junior Nationals Volleyball Tournament • Chaska Herald Title match goal met for Chaska Juniors
15s Posted: Friday, June 28, 2013 2:09 pm | Updated: 12:12 pm, Mon Jul 8, 2013. By Eric Kraushar
Mike Hull knew his Chaska Juniors 15 team had the talent to go far at the AAU Junior Nationals Volleyball Tournament in Orlando, Fla. How far, though, the Head Coach knew depended on the play of his team. Safe to say after 11 wins in 13 matches, which resulted in a second-place championship finish in the 15s Classic Division, Hull’s team performed to its best ability. We’ve actually had a pretty amazing season. Our overall record is 65-17, which is pretty impressive,” Hull said. “We play up to a lot of 16s tournaments, so they’ve really seen high competition. Playing at the championship level all season really helped us for this tournament. We played at our best when we played against other teams from our age.” Head Volleyball Chaska 15s volleyball players Nicole Hansen, le , and Mikayla Johnson Coach Sue Murphy, along for the ride as an assistant take a bite, well, at least try to, out of their silver medals a er their team for both the 15s and 16s teams, concurred with Hull, a was runner‐up at the AAU Junior Na onals 15U Classic Tournament. varsity assistant in the fall. “The best that we did last year was third and we had a goal of reaching the championship match and we did, so that was great,” she said. Chaska 15s won eight of the first nine matches to reach the championship round. The lone defeat came in three games to Fusion-South Red with five victories coming in straight sets. In two of three matches that went the distance, Chaska over- came first-game losses. That experience of playing from behind proved to be important as Chaska won three straight matches in three sets to reach the title match. An elite eight victory over VCNebraska was decided in extra points at 18-16. Chaska also beat Team Sting Black in the semifinals, a squad that had won its first 11 matches. “Every single match to get to the national champion- ship went three and they were hard-fought wins and it was very exciting,” Hull said. Chaska had its run end in a 2-0 decision to cham- pion Florida Inland VB-15N-K 25-15 and 26-24. Sophomore-to-be Megan Purdy, freshman-to-be Makenzie Bachmann and eighth-grader-to-be Dana Schindler were named All-Americans from the Chaska team. Schindler, whose older sister Erin was an All-American in the 16s tournament, is a setter with Purdy and Bachmann at hitters. “We run a different offense — a 6-2 setting offense with three middle rotations. You don’t see any- thing like this. I feel like those are the three that play all around, but without those other six, we’d never made it as far,” Hull said. Jen- nifer Mueller, Nicole Hansen, Mikayla Johnson, Amber Carlson and Lindsay Pollock are listed as hitters for Chaska with Samantha Weller at setter/hitter and Anna Panning at libero. “We have so many options and I think that’s what makes us so deadly is that our offense is so hard to defend against. We have an offense where different hitters are coming from different positions. It’s very complex and very hard to run, but the girls have definitely showed they can do it and they can play elite when they do,” Hull said.

10 AAU Junior Na onals Volleyball Tournament • Chaska Herald
The Elite Eight By Eric Kraushar Posted: Friday, June 28, 2013 10:00 am | Updated: 11:02 pm, Sun Jun 30, 2013. The Chas Mike Murphy wondered at one point in the quarterfinals, would this be the end of the road? At another point in the championship match, he wondered how will my team respond? Facing the toughest Club Division volleyball competition in the country for 16-year-olds, the Chaska Juniors 16s answered their head coach's internal questions with an emphatic NO and beautifully. Chaska, with just eight players on the roster, won all 14 matches, including a championship match in three sets, to claim the AAU Junior Nationals Volleyball title June 26 in Orlando, Fla. Chaska won the final match 25 -17, 18-25 and 15-10 over OVA (Orlando Volleyball Academy). It was the third victory over OVA this club season. They beat OVA twice in the Northern Lights qualifier in April, including in the championship bout. "I'm pretty proud of them. They absolutely rocked. They just clicked mentally and that was the completion of the whole team that put them over the top," Murphy said. The first two games were see-saw affairs with Chaska jumping out ahead in each only to see OVA tie it up at 12 in both games. Chaska, which trailed 15-12 in the first set, used an 8-0 run on Makayla Wenzel's serve, which produced two aces, to take a 20-12 advantage. Erin Schindler, one of three All-Americans for Chaska, added two kills with right-side hitter Lucia Saathoff finding room on the outside for two kills her- self. A Saathoff kill at 25-17 ended game one in favor of Chaska. The top seed from Minnesota held advantages of 5-1 and 12-10 in the second set, but OVA got defensive, staking claim to its first lead of the game with back-to-back blocks before an overpass turned into a kill at 16-14 in favor of the host club. Oakley Attaway pounded her eighth kill of the match for the final point at 25-18 for OVA. "One of our matches against Northern Lights II we played so tight I didn't know if we'd recover at all. We were lucky to flip the switch and away we went," said Murphy of how his team was able to respond all tournament. "(In the championship) we were getting too one-dimensional and we were going outside too much and getting the block on us. We just told (Makyala) to spread the ball around with equal distribution." Chaska lost the first two points of the deciding third game, but tournament MVP Sarah Kelly got her team going, scoring three of the team's first five points with attacks. She added two more for a 7-4 advantage, finishing with 10 for the match. "With Sarah, she was getting up so high. She was trying to pound the ball down, so we had her adjust and go deeper in the court with her shot and get over their blocks," said Murphy on Kelly's late game heroics. When Kelly's rotation went to the bench, Wenzel, the quarterback of the offense, spread it around, finding Schindler and Lauren Nordvold for consecutive kills at 14-7. OVA would close the gap at 14-10 but following a time-out Saathoff took a pass from Wenzel, an All-American, for the winner at 15-10. Chas- ka outhit OVA 39-19 in kills with four aces and four blocks. OVA had six service errors and no serving aces. Chaska varsity head coach Sue Murphy, with the team as an assistant, pointed out the play of libero Keena Seiffert, who abled the team with her consistent back-row play throughout the tour- nament, especially in serve receive where she was nearly perfect in the title match. It was the third time this group of Chaska girls had reached the Sweet Sixteen round, but first time reaching the championship match. "From a physical talent perspective, none of them have done anything leaps and bounds, but where they are at now it's more so about tweaking a few things here and there. The biggest thing is that mental part and it really is about trusting themselves and their teammates. Believing in themselves as a team - that's head and shoulders above where they have come," Murphy said. Impressive feat Murphy is asked all the time by other teams, where is Chaska? With many of the elite teams across the country coming from club volleyball programs, which draw from multiple high schools, it is rare to find something like the Chaska Juniors. All eight girls - middle hitter Elizabeth Hoppe, middle hitter Kelly, outside hitter Nordvold, right hitter Saathoff, outside hitter Schindler, libero Keena Seiffert, defensive specialist Lindsay Snuggerud and setter Wenzel - attend Chaska High School. "People just go, 'Are you kidding? That's impossible.' We get a lot of shock and awe that we have this much talent from a community-based club," Murphy said. In winning 14 matches at junior nationals, Chaska had to beat teams with players from multi- ple high schools, including OVA, which draws from the Orlando area, as well as Northern Lights 16-2, which is made up of girls from such Twin Cities schools as Shakopee, Eden Prairie, Eagan and Lakeville North to name a few. Of the 14 matches played, 11 were decided in two games for Chaska with three going the distance, including the match with Northern Lights II in which Chaska lost the first set 16-25 before rebounding 25-16 and 15-11. "It's pretty unbelievable. It hasn't really sunk in yet," said Saathoff reached by phone the night of the title victory. "It's amazing feeling knowing that we held our seed out of 192 teams," Wenzel said. "We've been work- ing really hard this whole season. We've been at AAU Junior Nationals before, so it feels good to say we reached our goal by winning," Nordvold said. Growth in their game Outside of Snuggerud, who spent the past season on junior varsity, the other seven players have suited up for varsity the past two seasons, with Seiffert sliding into the libero role as an eighth-grader. Having two full varsity seasons under their belts, as well as club ball, the team is, well, a team. "We're all so closely bonded together. We're all on the same wavelength and it's important to know we have each others' backs 100 percent. You really can't find that in many other places," Nordvold said. It all starts with Wenzel, who has transformed into an elite setter who has a knack for finding the hot hand. In the championship match she was spot on with sets, allowing the hitters to attack with open space. "Once you've played togeth- er so long I feel like I can connect with them more so I know how they want the sets and everything," Wenzel said. For Nordvold, she rose into a six-rotation player last fall and has continued her evolution into a smart hitter who knows where to swing for the point. "I would definitely say consistency even though my confidence has improved a lot, just because of experience. Getting to play in high school was great for my technique and has helped me with my consistency," Nordvold said. Saathoff, who dealt with tendonitis in her left knee last summer and was slowed during the school year, looks like the player Varsity Head Coach Sue Murphy envisioned with her 6-1 frame. Besides being a solid blocker, she has given Wenzel a third option at the net in offensive sets. "When I get set I'm thinking let's get this point, let's get this ball down so we can win this point and move on and win the game," Saathoff said. With Nordvold, Hoppe, Schindler, Saathoff, and Kelly hitting consistently, Chaska's rise through the ranks has them set on a second title next week at the USA Nationals in Dallas, Texas, July 2-4. The week ahead is a qualifier tourna- ment, so it brings together the best of the best from around the country. "The competition will definitely be tough. We have a good seed in this one, too, so that gives us a leg up hopefully on the rest of the field," Nordvold said.
11 Chaska Women take Gold and Silver in Post Season Run
By: Michael Hull The Chaska Juniors 16‐1 team comprised of an 8 mem‐ ber roster went on a thrilling post season rampage with a combined record of 21‐2 in both the AAU and USA Na onal Championships. A er they won gold in Orlando, Florida the team traveled, mostly by car, to Dallas, Texas to compete in the USA Division of the USA Volleyball Na onal Champion‐ ships (a tournament that one The team at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas Texas must qualify to compete in).

61 Chaska Juniors in the Community
As a club Chaska Jun‐ iors Volleyball donated their me to help out the communi‐ ty of Chaska. Chaska Juniors can boast that they are in a loyal and pride driven commu‐ nity that helps each other out, it is then no mystery as to why Chaska Volleyball and Chaska Juniors Volleyball has thrived ever since volleyball became a girls varsity sport in 1974 and when the club scene burst out onto the scene in 1993. Girls from all teams came to the Boun ful Basket, a local food drive organiza on, and helped collect 558 pounds of food for the needy in Chaska. To collect this food the teams had to go out into the community and ask for dona ons, a large percentage of the food came from the families of Chaska Juniors Volleyball. Once the food was donated they had to package it up for the food shelf. A erwards the club then went to the community park and did some bonding ac vi es to further strengthen the bond among players and maintain the pride of what is Chaska Volleyball and Chaska Juniors Volleyball!
