TMCNet: Central Catholic wins Division 1 North title

[November 15, 2009]

Central Catholic wins Division 1 North title

LAWRENCE, Nov 15, 2009 (The Eagle-Tribune - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Central Catholic senior Lindsay Phenix admitted that everyone on her team, including herself, was feeling some serious pressure when they trailed Andover 17-13 in the third game with the match tied 1-1.

But Phenix certainly seemed calm as she lined up to serve.

"I was just focusing," Phenix said. "I knew I needed to get it in. I needed to help out the team. I had to make the points. I didn't want to be the one to end it." Phenix scored seven-straight service points, including two aces, to put Central ahead by two points and send the momentum over to the Raiders' side in the Division 1 North final.

Central won game No. 3 and took the match 25-13, 23-25, 25-22, 25-18 at Lawrence.

Phenix led her team with 18 service points. She was placing her serves low and right over the top of the net during her stretch of seven straight points in the third game, making it extremely difficult for Andover to set up and return strong hits.

"It was clutch," Central coach Gannon Paris said about Phenix's serving. "It was on a great line. Sometimes if they strike it right, they'll get a little bit of movement on it and, if you're not right with that movement to the very end, it leads to a missed pass." Phenix also played aggressive near the net as she posted seven kills.

"She's not afraid to step up to the serving line to hit them in. She's not nervous at all," senior Katie Zenevitch said about Phenix. "So it's awesome to have her on the team to help us out when it's close." Zenevitch, along with teammate Carolyn Eddy, also did their part in aiding an important stretch in the fourth game. It was tied 10-10 when Eddy stepped to the serving line.

She used her powerful jump serve to help the Raiders gain a 16-10 lead.

Phenix then added four service points later in that game and, during the stretch, Zenevitch recorded two kills and a block to put Central ahead 21-11 to put the match out of reach.

Zenevitch tied for the team lead with 12 kills and four blocks.

"We wanted to make a point to give Katie the ball in the front row because we thought we had an advantage there," Paris said. "And with Carolyn serving and playing in the back row, we had an opportunity to do that." Kirsten Arvidson led Andover with 14 kills. Her sister Sarah Arvidson added 11 kills.

"We opened up the season with them," Andover coach George Sullivan said. "It was very, very similar to this. ... The third game we should have won and we didn't and that changed momentum, and it was the same thing here. I think if we won the third game it would have been a big difference."

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
