COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 3, ABINGTON 0 (25-9, 25-20, 25-21)
The Indians clinched at least a share of their first conference championship in five years with Tuesday’s sweep of the Ghosts.
"Within a very competitive SOL National Conference, our coaching staff would like to recognize the commitment and dedication from our entire roster in capturing a share of the 2016 SOL National Championship,” coach Greg Marchetti said. “It is CR North's second conference championship in school history and our first since 2011.
“Our senior class of Jason Yakimiv, Eric Van Thuyne, Logan Fuglestad, Will Desautelle, Alex Saraceno, Aaron Knotts, and Tommy Angelina have helped lead our program back to the top of the conference and have been positive role models for a strong supporting cast of underclassmen. We are looking forward to representing CR North in the District One Tournament and playing Council Rock volleyball."
Yakimiv (four kills, 12 digs, 4.5 blocks, three aces), Van Thuyne (five kills, seven digs, one ace, one assist) and Brady Haggerty (six kills, one dig, .5 blocks) led a balanced attack. Fuglestad, the Indians’ setter, had 26 assists, nine digs, two kills and two aces. Knotts (eight digs) and Saraceno (six digs) contributed to the defense. Also making contributions were Sean Helmlinger (four kills), Angelina (two kills, one block), Desautelle (two kills), Harry Wyatt (one kill, one dig, two aces), Robby Ward (two digs, one ace) and Will Hewitt (two kills, one block).
Council Rock North (15-2, 11-1) will face Central Bucks East in a non-league battle on Wednesday.

The Flying Cardinals earned a win that – according to Paul Choi - will allow the program to advance to districts for the first time in nearly a decade.
Evan Madden (16 kills, 13 digs, one ace), Calvin Chan (12 kills, 21 digs) and Albert Sungenis (11 kills, two blocks, four digs) provided a formidable trio at the net for the Cards. Jose Palomeque (23 assists, one kill, 24 digs) and Troy Gomer (21 assists, one ace, seven digs) split setting duties. Joe Choi led the defense with 36 digs to go along with five assists.

The Titans celebrated Senior Night with a hard fought non-league win over the Explorers, who battled back from a 2-0 deficit to force a winner-take-all fifth set.
“The fifth game was back and forth before a couple of good plays gave South some separation,” coach Matt Ehlers said. “Both of our seniors contributed in this win with Tyler Grochowski earning a kill and five digs and Jack Mayhew (two aces, nine kills, seven blocks, 15 digs).”
Other team leaders included setter Mark Macios (one kill, five blocks, six digs, 31 assists), middle Justin Koren (thre aces, 19 kills, nine blocks, five digs) and libero David Lulko (one ace, 14 digs).
