EB volleyball starts 2-0

Sawmills- The East Burke volleyball team started off the 2019 season with back to back road matches each winning over West Lincoln and South Caldwell in three sets.

In Tuesday's match with the Lady Spartans, the Lady Cavaliers (2-0) couldn't easily put the hosts away as they came back from a short deficit to take set one with Riley Haas and Erica Clontz making key plays at the net and Graleigh Hildebran completing a serving ace.

EB dominated play in set two with first-year varsity player Sara Suddreth making a key assist.

Haas and Clontz contributed again to put away the sweep with South Caldwell making a late run of five consecutive points to tie things up but couldn't get ahead to force an extra set.

Clontz led EB with eight kills Tuesday night as well as Monday's win over the Lady Rebels.

The JV Lady Cavaliers also start off with a 2-0 mark after a three-set win over the JV Lady Spartans.

The Lady Cavaliers are back in action next Tuesday at county rival Freedom.
