Normal Community High School's volleyball team started quickly Saturday night, downing Quincy in the opening set of the Class 4A Regional championship match at Normal.

However, top-seeded Quincy rallied to earn a 14-25, 25-23, 25-22 victory and advance to its own sectional with a 32-2 record.

Illinois State recruit Jenny Menendez had 15 kills and 14 digs to lead second-seeded NCHS (27-9). Taylor Coughlin added 12 kills, Lindsey Freed had a team-high 20 assists and Liz Heid led in service points with eight.

"In the first game we served really well," NCHS coach Natalie Sutimek said. "They were out of system pretty much every time we were serving. The second and third games we didn't get as much accomplished on the service line. We made a lot of errors that added up and it cost us in the end.

"But I'm really proud of our team. We played so hard tonight. I'm definitely proud of everything we accomplished this year."
