Southeastern volleyball cruises to win in Lougheed's coaching debut
In its season-opener, Southeastern cruised to a sweep of Minford to give head coach Brittany Lougheed her first career victory.
Chillicothe — Southeastern volleyball coach Brittany Lougheed made a smooth debut as she led her team to a season-opening sweep of Minford on Monday. The Panthers won the match with a final score of 25-13, 25-11, 25-20. The victory came after a strong performance from senior captains Kylee Dunn and Calley Stauffer, both of whom shined throughout the game.
"I just told the girls, 'I'm so proud to be your coach.' And I really am," Lougheed said, "In your first year of coaching, with this group, I mean, how lucky can you get? I'm still a little shaky. But it's exciting. It's wonderful to have [the win] and I'm glad we got it tonight." Dunn, a junior middle hitter, played with great energy and precision, often creating open spots on the floor to slam sets home.
Stauffer, known for her leadership and hustle, contributed with key blocks and kills, often acting as the team's mom figure. Despite Minford's late third-set comeback, Southeastern never trailed, ultimately clinching the win with a point from setter Macy Strausbaugh. Southeastern's next matches are against Jackson, Eastern Pike, and a home opener against Huntington.
