Tyrone notched the latest win last night at home against the Clearfield Bison, taking three out of the four sets.
Tyrone’s defense was outstanding. With their front row dominating at the net, the Lady Eagles were able to sweep the win from Clearfield and solidified themselves as strong competitors in the Laurel Highlands conference.
In their first game against Huntingdon on August 29th, the Lady Eagles took three of four sets to beat the Lady Bearcats.
Two days later the Eagles beat the Central Dragons on Tyrone’s home court in four sets.
The loss at Penns Valley came on September 5th.
In their upcoming week of matches, on Tuesday, September 12, Tyrone is set to face the currently undefeated Philipsburg Mounties and their tough lineup, which is highlighted by Division 1 recruit Reese Hazelton.
They then will take on the winless Chestnut Ridge Lions on September 14th.
