GRANBY — Middle Park utilized a potent offensive surge to secure a 3-0 sweep of West Grand on Monday, winning 25-15, 25-6, 25-15 in a non-league matchup.
The Panthers (9-6) dominated the tempo from the start, led by the aggressive hitting of Brooke Riddle-Robinson (#9), who tallied 10 kills and hit .381. Jacey Paugh (#1) provided essential support with nine kills and two aces, while Aspen Bauckman (#14) chipped in six kills.
Middle Park’s efficiency was bolstered by Laura Bell (#7), who distributed the ball effectively for 12 assists, and Jolee Paugh (#2), who added 10 assists. At the net, Hannah Bauckman (#13) proved a formidable wall, recording three total blocks to stifle West Grand’s attack.
Despite the loss, West Grand (7-10) showed flashes of resilience through the performance of Brooke Terryberry (#12). Terryberry was the Mustangs’ primary offensive weapon, leading the team with seven kills and hitting .250, while also contributing one block and four digs.

The Mustangs’ effort was supported by Jocelyn Holmes (#14), who recorded four kills and a block, and Teagan Bruchez (#18), who orchestrated the offense with 11 assists. Lina Steinle (#9) worked tirelessly in the back row, leading West Grand with 19 serve receives and three digs.
While West Grand struggled to maintain consistency in the second set, scoring only six points, they remained competitive in the first and third sets, battling through a Middle Park defense that forced several errors.
The Panthers now turn their attention to a challenging 3A Western Slope test on Thursday, Oct. 15, as they travel to face the 14-1 Aspen Skiers.
West Grand will look to bounce back on Friday, Oct. 16, when they host the Soroco Rams (10-9) for a 2A/1A Western Slope contest.
