The bridesmaid finally became the bride when the Gobles volleyball team won its first Southwestern Athletic Conference title since 1997 by going 3-0 in Saturday's tournament. The championship comes after Gobles made the title game the last four years, but never came away with a first place.
Gobles defeated Hartford (22-25, 25-15, 15-6), Lawton (25-12, 25-12, 25-23) and Decatur (25-12, 23-25, 25-22, 25-16).
"It was an intense day, but I was extremely proud of the way my players played and executed when they needed to," said Gobles coach Megan Ivester, whose team is 26-13-2. "We got off to a slow start, but rolled from there. We knew coming in we couldn't take anyone lightly and we realized that we need to worry about our side of the net and play for who we are and what we've worked for."
Michaela DeKilder had 68 kills for Gobles. Sharyena Hunt had 21 kills and 52 digs. Ellen Doyle had 22 kills and 15 blocks.
