Carl Junction beats Joplin in volleyball tournament championship

From staff reports

CARL JUNCTION, Mo. — Carl Junction defeated Joplin 25-11, 25-18 on Saturday for the championship of the Dr. Jeffrey Knutzen CJ Classic volleyball tournament.

“Our kids played really well today,” said Carl Junction head coach Sarah Wall. “We just put everything together today.”

She said it was the first time Carl Junction had won its own tournament since 2007.

“I thought we played good defense all day,” said Staci Saunders, Joplin coach. “I would loved to have played better in the championship game, but give Carl Junction credit.

“They took us out of our game. We didn’t make the blocker adjustments in order to win that game.”

Hope Joyner, who was named most valuable player, and Katie Wiele of Carl Junction were named to the all-tournament team, along with Olivia Hampton and Erin Lawellin of Joplin.
