Northville Volleyball Defeats Fenton in State Quarterfinals

Northville advances to state volleyball semifinals with 25-23, 25-13, 25-21 victory.

Northville volleyball coach Amanda Yaklin could sense some nervousness from her team on the bus ride to Davison for Tuesday's state volleyball quarterfinal against Fenton. Those nerves were evident early in the match, as the Mustangs fell behind 5-0 and 8-2 early on. "That's (starting slow) been a pattern for us," Yaklin said. "So I don't burn timeouts on it, I just let them get the nerves out. This was the first time they'd been far away from home, it was a long bus ride and they were just silent and nervous the whole time. I knew when they got through those first few points they'd be OK." Northville chipped away at Fenton's lead in the first game, eventually tying the Tigers at 21 and then winning four of the next six points to win 25-23…
