The Douglas girls' volleyball team likes to play a fast-paced style that features low sets for its outside hitters. When executed properly, it is tough to defend.
Wednesday, the host Eagles were able to consistently feed the ball into the hands of their outside hitters, senior Kendall Putnam and sophomore Brittany Sauls, as Douglas won 25-11, 25-17, 23-25, 25-19 in a key District 10-6A match.
The Eagles (12-5) remain tied with Coral Springs for the top seed in the district at 6-0. The teams will meet Thursday night at Coral Springs to decide the top two seeds.
Sauls and Putnam each had seven kills, as did Ashley Siegel. Sauls added 12 digs and four service points with three aces. Putnam had 11 digs and seven service points.
Setter Aline Valieno chipped in with a team-high 18 assists, three kills and two blocks.

Unfortunately we are unable to see all the games and rely mostly on the coaches, newspapers and parents. We know that there are many deserving players that are instrumental to their teams success. There is no "I" in TEAM and every player is important.
