The Indians handed the Redskins their first loss of the season in a grueling five-set match. The two teams along with Bensalem have just one loss in conference play.
“It was a hard fought game from both sides,” Rock North coach James Koodathil said. “Neshaminy is a well-coached, talented team who came ready to compete.
“I cannot give enough credit to my boys for fighting throughout this game. With key players being bolstered to the starting lineup and also playing different positions, the boys were poised. Their hard work and dedication is the sole reason for this win.”
Justin Burns turned in a huge performance to lead the Indians, finishing with 21 kills, one block and 17 digs. Brady Klein added six aces, 10 kills, one block and 19 digs. Dylan VanSchaick (20 assists, 18 digs) and Geoff Sandhanamudi (14 assists, one kill, four digs) shared setting duties. Martin Nguyen contributed 13 digs and two assists.

Also contributing were Josh Adler (one ace, four digs), Josh Hamilton (three kills, one dig, one block) and Colin Smith (five kills, four digs).
“Council Rock North is very well coached and took advantage of the countless errors we made,” Neshaminy coach Patrick Klingerman said. “(It’s) tough to win a game when you commit so many unforced errors. We will take this as a learning experience and grow from this.”
