Wheaton kicked off their season on the road on Wednesday and hit a couple of potholes. They came up short against the Richard Montgomery Rockets, falling 3-0. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Knights of the 3-0 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September of 2024.
While Wheaton was kept off the board, it wasn't for a lack of trying: they cut into Richard Montgomery's winning margin in every set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-3, 25-12, 25-17.
Richard Montgomery was led to victory by Ana Djordjevic and Maya Reichling. Djordjevic had six digs and four aces, while Reichling had three digs and three aces. That's the most aces Djordjevic has posted over her last eight contests. Talia Shih also deserves some recognition as she served her first ace of the season.
Richard Montgomery has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-2 record this season.
