Volleyball: In Ubly, Kubacki means Assist
February 29, 2012
In a report by the Huron Daily Tribune, Ubly coach Andy Guza called the last victory of his team's three-set win over Sandusky on Oct. 4, "the craziest game I've ever seen."
It also capped a record-setting match for his junior setter.
Ubly won 25-19, 26-28, 25-27, 25-21 and 23-21. Junior Ashley Kubacki totaled 65 assists -- 18 more than Ubly's previous school record and also two more than the previous best in the MHSAA record book for the five-game rally scoring era.
The main recipient of those passes was senior Nicole Kubacki, who finished with 32 kills -- which tied for 16th most in the MHSAA record book for one match.
(NOTE: The MHSAA switched to five-game rally scoring in 2004-05, and at that time started new record book listings for all categories to reflect the change in format.)
