Centreville Coach Ken Moser knows his team needs to be playing well with the start of Concorde District play looming around the corner. Thursday night it looked liked the Wildcats were more than ready for battle, as Centreville downed defending Northern Region champion and state runner-up Langley in four games 25-19, 25-13, 18-25, 27-25.
“They are a good team” Moser sad. “They graduated Lisa [Scott] and Megan [Shifflett] last season but they are still a strong team. Sue [Shifflett] has a great program. She will never bring a team that you are just gonna beat … they always come to play.”
Junior outside hitter Celine Alasomuka paced Centreville with four aces in the first game on her way to seven aces, nine kills and 14 digs on the night. Senior Allie Darling added nine kills and nine digs while senior Lindsey Hunter set the stage all night with 28 assists.
Centreville opens district play on the road next week against Robinson and will follow that contest with matches against perennial contender Loudoun Valley of the Cedar Run District and then Westfield.
“In the Concorde District you’ve got to bring it every night,” Moser said. “Every team in the Concorde is strong across the board. You have to bring your game. If you have a slip up, if you don’t bring it mentally or you don’t bring any energy, you are going to end up losing the match.”
