Unioto beats ZT in four to improve to 15-5 By Shayne Combs, SVCsportszone.com
	The purple and gold took the first two sets Thursday night, but ZT found a way to take game three. Game four was tight early with Unioto leading 10-7, but that is when Unioto scored 10 of the next 13 points to open up a 20-10 lead as they went on to win 25-17.  Unioto had a balanced attack led by Katelyn Jinks with 18 kills and Kristin Vranicar added 13 kills. Unioto, a team that was hit extremely hard by graduation last season, has found a way to reload as second-year coach Aaron Ridenour has his Lady Shermans at 15-5.  On the other hand, a much improved ZT team continues to fall just short of recording that quality win against a top-half team. The Pioneers have now lost to Unioto in four, Unioto in five, Westfall in five, and Huntington in five. The red, white, and blue were led Thursday night by their outstanding junior Jessica Roepke. The 5-10 middle hitter recorded 17 kills and three aces. CLICK HERE TO VIEW CURRENT SVC STANDINGS, SCHEDULES, SCORES, AND STATS!
