Lady Eagles stars overpower Jefferson City during 3-0 sweep at the Kickapoo Quad

Nixa volleyball traveled to Kickapoo for a showdown with Jefferson City and Helias Catholic on Sept. 4.

In set one, Jeff. City (6-2) got out to an early 4-3 lead however, that would be the Lady Jays only lead of the set. Nixa (2-0) proceeded to go on a seven-point run that was capped off with an unbelievable pickup by Maddie Golmen to stretch the Lady Eagle lead to 12-5. Led by a combined eleven kills from Jaycee Fixsen and Allie Bilmyer, Nixa would take the set 25-10.

Set two was more of the same by Nixa. After giving the first point to the Lady Jays, they would go on a 8-0 run led by kills from a pair of juniors, Norah Clark and Hillary Estes. An ace from Missouri State commit Fixsen would give Nixa their largest lead of the set at 18-6. Sophomore Jacy Bray finished the set at 25-16 with a dump that split diving bodies.

Once again Jeff. City got out to a hot start and led 4-1. Much like sets one and two, it was all Nixa from there. Every time the Lady Jays would score, the Lady Eagles would answer with runs of 3-4. The set quickly got out of hand for Jeff. City and ended at 25-13 with a kill from Jena Medaris.

Sydney Golden assisted on 32 of Nixa's points, while Fixsen added 14 digs on the defensive side along with her 13 kills on offense. Golmen, Golden and Conrad all added an ace.

Nixa also played Helias Catholic (5-2-1) in a rematch of last year's State Sectionals match-up. Nixa won in four sets (25-15, 21-25, 25-22, 25-19).

The Lady Eagles advance to 3-0 heading into a pivotal district match-up on the road with Kickapoo (9-2) Thursday, Sept. 9. Start time for the match is set for 7:30 p.m.
