WAVERLY — Newark Valley won a battle in the first set on its way to a
sweep of Waverly here Thursday night in IAC South Large School Division
volleyball action.
The Lady Cardinals won 25-21, 25-11, and 25-18.
“The
team started out decent, but lost a close one in the first set,” said
Waverly coach Charity Meyers. “Tonight, they were unable to shake it off
the rest of the match and it showed on the court.
“Newark
Valley definitely has some height and great net play,” added Meyers. “We
will learn from this and regroup to move forward with our game play.”
