Girls volleyball: Stevenson's Radtke terminates 1000th kill

Stevenson senior volleyball player Jori Radtke hit a milestone on Saturday at Maine East.

During the Patriots' semifinal match against Niles West, the Northern Illinois-bound outside hitter slammed the 1,000th kill of her four-year varsity career.

"This is an amazing accomplishment since she played defensive specialist as a freshman," Stevenson coach Tim Crow said.

Radtke's efforts helped Stevenson (19-2) finish 4-1 in Maine East's Demon Invite. After losing to Niles West 25-16, 25-19, despite Radtke's 13 kills, the Patriots beat Warren 25-22, 25-19 for third place. Radtke led the way again, totaling 16 kills and 6 digs. Sophie Sorenson had 6 kills and 2 aces. Chloe Robinson registered 2 aces and 6 digs, Taylor Erickson served 3 aces, and Alex Cuc dished out 18 assists.

Warren, which went 3-2 in the tournament, also suffered a 25-12, 25-19 loss to Lake Forest.

Warren's contributors in the tournament included Natalie McNally (22 kills), Abby Berkowitz (6 aces), Maddie Walczak (6 aces), Claire Lundtveit (30 kills, 5 aces), Dana Lundtveit (20 blocks, 14 kills), Lucy White (12 kills), Katie Corr (14 blocks), Marissa Kuula (12 blocks), Allison Maan de kok (46 assists) and Hannah Barbosa (40 digs).
