East Brunswick Volleyball Match Summary

June 8, 2007 - State Finals: East Brunswick defeated St. Peters Prep 25-21, 25-22

East Brunswick won the state title in two games over a spirited St. Peter's Prep team. The Bears rolled out quickly to a 7-3 lead with awe inpiring kills, but St. Peter's fought back to 10-7. East Brunswick then got back into their high powered game and extended the lead. The second game was close most of the way with St. Peters Prep closing to within a point of East Brunswick on several occasions. The Bears never gave up the lead and were up by 4 or 5 points much of the time. While East Brunswick did not play quite as sharply as they had in their previous victory over Southern, they still provided plenty of evidence as to why they are clearly the best team in the state. Alex Rigley made four impressive kills. Travis Heilman was amazing with 13 kills and 6 digs. A key factor in the victory for the Bears was their ability to dig out the ball following St. Peter's blocks. Dan Korten had 7 digs and Eric Corpus had 10 digs to go with his 3 kills. Christian Portera had 6 kills and 3 blocks. Kyle Barry as usual was fabulous, with 29 assists and 2 kills - at one critical point he flipped the ball over the net instead of setting anyone which caught St. Peters by surprise. John McLaughlin had 3 kills. With eight seniors on the team, they had extra incentive to win in two games since they were anxious to get to their senior Prom which started at the same time the game did. With this victory, East Brunswick won the state championship for the sixth time in the last 9 years. East Brunswick is now 30-2 for the season.
