Non-league
WILLIAM TENNENT 3, ST. HUBERT’S 1 (25-16, 22-25, 25-19, 25-21)
The Panthers turned in a solid showing in Wednesday’s non-league match, outlasting a tough and scrappy St. Hubert’s squad.
“We got great contributions up and down the line-up,” Tennent coach Brian Bassler said. “Serving is a real strength for us, but we just didn’t have it as a team in that area, but our back row – led by Addy Criss and Maggie McGlynn – stepped up in a really tough gym to play in. The ceiling was low and the balls were bouncing all over.
“Our setters, Izzy Goebel and Julia Richard, did a great job spreading the ball around and saving some plays out of the rafters. Meredith Johnston and Georgie Thorpe led the way up front, each tallying seven kills.”
William Tennent (6-3, 3-2 SOL) will travel to Central Bucks West for a non-league match Friday.
