Benet senior setter Ellie Stiernagle was a little more hyped up than usual Wednesday.

“We got some new jerseys,” Stiernagle said. “We just got them literally today, so I think we were all kind of pumped.

“It was kind of a fun thing. We were excited to show out.”

The Redwings rocked their new jerseys and then rocked Metea Valley. The Northwestern-bound Stiernagle led the way, serving nine consecutive points as the host Redwings jumped to an 11-1 lead in the first set en route to a 25-5, 25-11 victory.

Stiernagle finished with 17 assists, 14 service points, three kills and three blocks in what was arguably the best performance of her four-year varsity career.

“I like being intense,” Stiernagle said. “It’s more fun to play that way. It’s more fun to hype up the teammates.”
