Hersey's girls volleyball team was tested at the Jacobs Invite on Saturday.

And that's exactly what Huskies veteran coach Nancy Lill wanted as she watched her young Huskies go 2-3 in the tournament.

"We have a very young group this season and gained invaluable experience this weekend," said Lill, whose team is 3-4 overall. "Playing tough competition was great for us."

Liz Fuerst and Katie Rozanski were named to the all-tourney team.

Hersey defeated Barrington (25-23, 25-21) and Wheaton North (19-25, 25-17 15-13) and fell to tourney champion Cary Grove (5-1), Dundee-Crown (6-2) and Crystal Lake Central.

Senior Liz Fuerst put down 52 kills to lead the Huskies' attack followed by classmate Katie Rozanski (28). They were named to the all-tourney team.

Sophomore Emma Frankiewicz led the defending Mid-Suburban League champs with 65 digs and 8 aces while junior Maggie Reisel (48 assists) and sophomore Emma Strozewski (54 assists) set the offense. Junior Zoe Strozewski led with 11 blocks.

Barrington (2-5), which went 1-4 in the invite, was led by Ana Zawisza (10 aces, 60 assists), Gabby Morris (20 kills) and Megan Talbot (15 kills, 12 blocks). Zawisza and Morris were all-tourney selections.
