The Indians upped their National Conference record to a perfect 5-0 after Wednesday’s sweep of the Titans.
Senior outside hitter Birdie Ligos led a balanced attack with 12 kills as well as four aces and six digs.
“Birdie Ligos was a force to be reckoned with and set the tone of the match with eight kills in the first set alone and finished the match with 12 kills,” coach Mike Adams said. “CB South played great floor defense and stayed in a lot of points, making for many great athletic plays by both teams.”
Senior middle blocker Hadley Grundman had seven kills, one ace and two blocks, senior outside hitter Morgan Collito added six kills, two aces, seven digs and one block and sophomore opposite Dana Bandurick had five kills and two blocks. Junior Maddy Moore had nine digs and two aces. Setters Sarah Caola (15 assists, four aces, five digs) and Johanna Batterton (11 assists, two aces, one dig) combined for 26 assists. Also making contributions were Grace Schweizer (three digs, one ace), Carrie Kuiken (three digs, two aces), Julia D’Apolito (five assists, one dig), Kalein Mealey (four kills, one dig, one block), Alyssa Coates (three kills, five digs) and Robin Smith (two kills).

“Council Rock North is an incredibly good team, and they got up early on us,” South coach Kurt Godfrey said. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to dig out of the holes we created for ourselves.
“It’s tough to score against a team like that. Megan and Alyssa did a great job of hitting around their big blocks tonight, but they have a scrappy defense that seemed to be absolutely everywhere.
“There were a lot of long rallies, and Morgan was able to come up huge for us with some crucial digs, but we just weren’t able to put it all together tonight. Tomorrow we have a chance to practice and go back to the drawing board to prepare for Neshaminy on Friday.”
