Check out the results for SOL girls’ volleyball teams in action Wednesday.
American Conference
COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 3, WILLIAM TENNENT 2
The Panthers found themselves in a five-set match for the fifth time this season, and it was the Golden Hawks eking out the win.
“I don’t think I have been involved in this many five-set matches in the past 14 years as I have this year,” said Tennent coach Brian Bassler, whose team is 2-3 in the marathon matches. “The girls battled as usual and are just phenomenal people and athletes.
“We raised money for two great local charities tonight, and it is heartbreaking to watch the team fall short. The girls from South played well in front of a big crowd, and it just continues to show the amount of parity in the National.”
For the Golden Hawks, setter Hannah Devlin was credited with 30 assists. Hannah Sullivan (seven kills, seven blocks) and Natalie Kazokas (10 kills) both had big nights at the net. Bria DeSaro led the defense with 27 digs.
“Tennent is a well-coached team,” South coach John Wright said. “Most of our players know each other from club and truly enjoy the rivalry.”
