[October 23, 2015]  MOUNT PULASKI - Lilly Pickett and Maddy Davis share a hug as the only two seniors on Coach Donna Dulle's 2015 Lady Toppers Volleyball Team. The two six-footers (Davis is actually 6'3") have been playing for Dulle for a long time and Thursday night they were honored with a cake reception following the game.

The girls went out on a high note with a 25-15 and 25-20 win over Auburn while both posted solid performances on the court. Davis had 9 kills, 1 block and 7 digs and Pickett finished with 3 kills, 2 blocks and 5 digs.

Dulle was proud of the ladies after the game and is excited about the rest of the season. "I think they are both playing really well. They are bringing what we need to this team in leadership and aggressive play. I think that the other kids respond to what they do. Lilly has been hitting the ball very well for us and she is just a joy to have on the team. Maddy is just a character and a very good player, too. We have just enjoyed them both this year."

The seniors season on the court is not over yet as Mount Pulaski hosts its own tournament this Saturday at the Ed Butkovich Gymnasium and the team will begin regional action next week.
