Richhart led in passing, while Wisniewski and Savannah Pieper each had a kill. On the 8th grade side, LaVille and CASB split the first two sets before pulling away for a 15-10 victory to win the match. "The 8th grade is coming home with their first victory of the season!" said LaVille's 8th Grade coach Jennifer Higley. "We played another three game match and this time ended up with the W!" Top contributors for the Lancers include Savannah Wagner 14-15 (5 aces) and Kenzie Foster 12-13 (4 aces). Kenzie Foster and Sophie Jones led the offense with 2 kills each.
