Spring 2025 Season Recap – Varsity and Club Valorant

Spring 2025 Season Recap – Varsity and Club Valorant

Kenosha – Carthage Valorant exceeded expectations on a Club and Varsity level. Clutch plays were made, and many spikes were defused. We will now analyze both the Carthage Club and Varsity Valorant teams.

Varsity Valorant [Division VII]

Carthage’s Varsity Valorant team illustrated insurmountable grit this past spring. While competing in NECC’s Division VII Midwest A stage, the Firebirds accomplished an undefeated 7-0 regular season. Additionally, Varsity Valorant won 88% of their maps (+12 map differential), and a round differential of +103, 49 more than Kettering Gold (+54), whom they defeated in Week Four on Feb 24 by a 2-1 map score. 

Upon the regular season’s conclusion, Carthage became the number-one seed in the Midwest Playoffs. First, number-eight Maryland Terps fell victim to a 2-0 quarterfinal shutout against Carthage on March 24. During the Semifinals, the Firebirds took down the MVNU Cougars, 2-1, on March 31. Finally, on April 7, Carthage entered a heavyweight fight against Robert Morris University. After four and a half hours, the Firebirds were crowned NECC Division VII Midwest Champions. A 3-2 win defines the importance of team collaboration and morale.

Here are the closing moments of Carthage Varsity Valorant’s Division VII Championship Match. Broadcasters in the clip are Timothy Fendrick [hvstl] and Tommy Van Treeck [Toom].

Freshman James Eggert [Jawa], sophomore Aiden Hecht [Hecht], sophomore Sergio Musaitef [Gio], freshman Ryan Rivera [Righ], and junior Mady Savage [Bunny] put on an incredible show for the Carthage faithful. When reflecting on Carthage’s Valorant championship, Coach Wesley Kutzke said, “It’s a show of character for this team…we were able to come back after that really terrible loss on Map Four, and we were still able to not let that bring us down. We were able to bring in the win.” 

When Map Four concluded, the series between Carthage and RMU was tied 2-2. RMU had momentum entering Map Five following a 13-4 victory in Map Four. However, the Firebirds fought valiantly to close out the series with a 13-10 win in Map Five, solidifying themselves as Division VII champions.

Following their championship victory, Carthage Valorant secured their first-class ticket to NECC Division VII Nationals. On April 14, number-three Carthage defeated number-14 Graceland, 2-0, in the first round.

After a calm Easter break, the Firebirds clashed with number-six Hendrix College on April 28. An impressive showcase rewarded Carthage with a 2-0 victory in quarterfinal action. The next day, Carthage faced number-two Wilkes University in the semifinals, hoping to advance to the grand finals. However, Wikes won 2-1, sending Carthage to the third-place game against Kettering Gold. Although a sour taste filled the air, Carthage placed third in Nationals after a forfeit win against Kettering on May 5. 

Carthage Valorant finished their Spring 2025 NECC campaign with a 7-0 regular season, a Division VII Midwest title, and third place in Nationals. Varsity Valorant achieved a combined 13-1 record, netting a 92.9 winning percentage, which was second best of all Varsity teams.

Club Valorant [Division IX]

The Firebirds Valorant Club had a tremendous season, going 6-0 in NECC Division IX’s Central B regular season. Valorant Club posted a 12-3 map record with a +51 round differential. They earned a number-two seed in Division IX’s central playoffs. 

In Division IX central playoffs, the Carthage Valorant Club defeated number-seven SCU White by forfeit on March 24 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Carthage faced the number-three seed, Buena Vista, but fell short, losing 2-1. Although the Valorant Club missed the grand finals, their loss only fueled their determination. On April 7, the Carthage Valorant Club won against number-four Arkansas State University with a 2-1 score and claimed third place in Division IX’s central playoffs. The Carthage Valorant Club included a roster that enjoyed playing Valorant casually and sought to challenge themselves. 

Sophomore player Penn Gilchrist said, “The club Valorant team was a great experience. We didn’t practice at all as a team since we still had our Rocket League season to focus on.” Penn cites new knowledge about Valorant, saying the “communication and amount of time is way different from Rocket League. I had a lot of fun even though I was not a full starter. Penn recommends other players in Carthage’s Esports programs to “try new games and play them semi competitively. It gives you a new thing to focus on, and helps with certain aspects in your main game.” A couple of examples are collaboration with teammates and identifying your role on a team.

Carthage Esports will return for the 2025-26 academic year to kick off its fourth competitive season, starting in Fall 2025. Follow us on all social media platforms (@carthageesports) to stay updated. Follow our Twitch channel to get notifications when broadcasts go live.

#11 Creighton Volleyball Outlasts Northern Colorado to Advance to Second Round of NCAA Tournament

Published

on


Courtesy of Rob Anderson, Creighton Athletics

OMAHA, Neb. 
— No. 11 Creighton Volleyball was pushed to the brink but survived to win its 21st straight match on Thursday evening, opening up NCAA Tournament play with a 3-2 victory over Northern Colorado. Scores of the Bluejay triumph were 25-12, 23-25, 23-25, 25-17, 15-8.

Creighton earns itself a Second Round match-up against Northern Iowa (26-5) after the sixth-seeded Panthers finished off their first reverse sweep in the NCAA Tournament since 2022 with a 15-25, 21-25, 26-24, 25-20, 15-10 win over Utah. Creighton defeated the Panthers at D.J. Sokol Arena on Sept. 14 to close out play at the Bluejay Invitational.

Five women had multiple kills in the first set as Creighton powered past Northern Colorado, led by six kills from Ava Martin. Martin also had a pair of aces late in the set to solidify CU’s 25-12 victory. The Jays hit .438 and had 17 kills to UNC’s six kills on .000 hitting and never trailed in the frame.

UNC snapped Creighton’s 17-set win streak with a 25-23 victory in the second set, which featured nine ties and five lead changes. Isabel Bennett had go-ahead kills to make it 23-22 and 24-23 and Alayna Tessena put down the winner on set point. Northern Colorado had 15 kills and 18 digs in the second set and held the Bluejays to 11 kills and .200 hitting. Martin had seven kills for CU in the second set, while Sydney Breissinger added six digs.

The Bears won the first three points of the third set and moved in front 8-4 to force an early timeout from CU head coach Brian Rosen. The stoppage did little to improve the fortunes for the hosts, who called another timeout six points later after falling behind 12-6 to the Big Sky Tournament champions. The second timeout did the trick, as the Bluejays countered with an 8-2 burst to even the score at 14-all. Northern Colorado settled down, never surrendering the lead, and led 23-20 before one last push from the hosts. Martin pounded her 18th kill of the night, and Nora Wurtz followed with her 56th ace of the fall to cut CU’s deficit to 23-22 and lead UNC coach Lydnsey Oates to call timeout. Martin slammed a cross-court kill to tie the score at 23-all, but UNC answered with a Zoe Gibbs kill for a set point opportunity.  The Bears won the set on a Bluejay attack error, 25-23. 

The Bluejays got off to a 6-2 lead in the fourth set thanks in part to three early UNC hitting errors, then extended the advantage to 14-6. The Jays won the set 25-17, with freshman Abbey Hayes stepping up with a team-best four kills. CU had 4.5 blocks in the set, including one of set point from Reinhardt and Martin.

Creighton got off to a quick start in the fifth frame, scoring the first three points on two Martin kills and a UNC attack error. CU led 8-3 at the changeover

Martin was dominant with 30 kills on 65 swings, while Jaya Johnson finished with 12 kills. Reinhardt rounded out the Bluejays in double figure kills with 10. Annalea Maeder closed the match with a double-double, delivering 53 assists and 20 digs.

Tessena led Northern Colorado with 14 kills, while Brynn Reines finished with 11 kills

First serve of tomorrow’s Second Round match is at 6:30 p.m.

NOTES:  Creighton improved to 18-14 all-time in 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a 12-3 mark in the First Round … Creighton has won 21 straight matches, its third-longest streak in program history … Creighton is now 8-4 in home matches in the NCAA Tournament, including five straight victories … Creighton has won its last 11 home matches this fall … Creighton is now 4-1 all-time against Northern Colorado … Creighton has won 68 straight matches over unranked foes and 56 non-televised matches in a row … Ava Martinmoved into third place in CU history in career service aces with 126 … Ava Martinhad her 25th straight match with 10 or more kills and 108th in a row with five or more kills … Ava Martin had her 13th career match with 20+ kills, and seventh this season.
