Ansley/Litchfield had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Amherst Broncos. The Spartans were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Broncos apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
The 2-0 score doesn't really reflect how close the match was: every set was decided by exactly two points. The match finished with set scores of 25-23, 29-27.
Ansley/Litchfield's offense was headlined by Kaycee Nelson and Kiera Bailey, who picked up five kills apiece. They got some help from Caydence Feldman and her 15 assists. She was also solid from the service line: she led the team with two aces.
Amherst found their leader in sophomore Breckyn Layne Veskerna, who had 18 digs and two aces. Layne Veskerna has been hot, having posted ten or more digs the last eight times she's played.
Coincidentally, Ansley/Litchfield and Amherst will both be playing Elm Creek the next time they take the court. The Spartans will host the Buffaloes at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Broncos will play them later in the day, at 7:00 p.m.
