Volleyball Preview: Edison Red Raiders vs. Homestead Broncos
The Edison Red Raiders will look to take advantage of their home-court for the first time this season as they take on the Homestead Broncos at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Edison is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They lost 3-0 to Norland last Tuesday. The Red Raiders just can't catch a break and have now endured nine defeats in a row dating back to last season.
The match finished with set scores of 25-9, 25-13, 25-8.
Meanwhile, Homestead was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They fell 3-1 to Southridge.
The defeat didn't mean the game wasn't competitive: Southridge scored at least 21 points in every set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 26-24.
Despite their loss, Homestead saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Gabriela Creighton, who had ten aces and nine digs, was perhaps the best of all. The dominant performance also gave Creighton a new career-high in aces. Another player making a difference was Joy Nelson, who had ten digs and four aces.
She wasn't the only good server: Homestead was lethal from the service line and finished the game with 33 aces. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now served at least seven aces in nine consecutive matches.
Edison might still be hurting after the 3-0 defeat they got from Homestead in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Will Edison have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other volleyball content.
