WIAA state volleyball: Onalaska Luther falls short against top seed in Division 3 semifinal

GREEN BAY — The Onalaska Luther High School volleyball team had trouble getting on track Thursday morning at the Resch Center.

Top-seeded Watertown Luther Prep was thrilled to take advantage of that and posted a 25-17, 25-20, 25-13 victory over the fourth-seeded Knights in a WIAA Division 3 state semifinal.

The Phoenix (37-3) advanced to their first championship on Saturday afternoon, and Luther — making its first state WIAA appearance — had its season end with a 21-11 record.

Sophomore Audrey Clark had a team-high eight kills, and sophomore Cara Unke added seven, but the Knight finished the match with 26 kills and 21 errors for an attack percentage of .050.

Junior Addie Schaper had a team-high 19 assists and senior Marlie Krause a team-high 11 digs. Sophomore Carsyn Krause added eight digs and senior Kayla Schiebel five kills for Luther.
