The varsity volleyball team (3-9) faced off against one of their Chagrin Valley Conference rivals last Tuesday, the Lutheran West Longhorns (13-3). The team knew that this would be a monumental challenge heading into the match against the Longhorns, and that is exactly what happened.
In the first set, there were a lot of great serves, volleys, digs, and spikes from both teams, but the visiting Longhorns were the more consistent team out of the gates and took control of the first set, winning 25-18.
The Hurricanes battled and knew that some slight adjustments would put them in a good spot for the second set.
Similar to the first set, the second set was filled with back-and-forth action, excitement, and energy. Senior Kaitlyn Lenhardt served the ball tremendously, and fellow senior Desiree Gailes was all over the court. However, the Longhorns pulled away to take the second set, 25-19.
In the third set, the Hurricanes were gassed, and the Longhorns took advantage. With all of the momentum on their side, the visitors finished off the hosts 25-13, finishing off the sweep.
The Longhorns improved to 14-3 and are now in second place in the CVC Metro Division, trailing only Independence. The Hurricanes dropped to 3-10 and find themselves in seventh place in the CVC Metro Division.
The team will be back in action tonight at home as they welcome in the Richmond Heights Spartans, beginning at 6:00.
In other Fall sports, the boys soccer team is currently 1-5, but they look to get their second win of the season tonight against Fairview at 5:00.
Likewise, the girls soccer team faces off against the undefeated Wickliffe Blue Devils tonight at 7:00.
Lastly, tomorrow night, the varsity football team (1-2) hosts the Painesville Harvey Red Raiders (0-3) with kickoff at 7:00.
Go Canes!
