Going into Thursday nights match against Tyrone’s biggest rivalry, the Lady Eagles now knew that they had to jump on them early and get them frustrated. The Lady Eagles did just that, serving a total of 48 service points in all three sets.

In the pink out game, money was raised in honor of breast cancer survivor Victoria Isenberg. The money was raised by selling baked goods, 50/50 tickets, and face tattoos. A serving game was also played to get the crowd excited and rowdy.

The Lady Eagles started off right and got on Bellwood in the first set with a score of 25-15. The second set the girls would not let Bellwood-Antis score with junior Ebonee Rice digging everything they sent over the net. The second set ended with a score of 25-16. In the third set, the Lady Eagles obliterated Bellwood 25-11, sweeping Bellwood-Antis for the first time in history.

“It was the first time that we have beaten them and it felt so freaking cool!” said junior Brianna Foy.

Senior Kylee Gooding had 12 kills, 5 aces, 1 block, 3 digs, 8 service points while Foy had 7 kills, 3 aces, 1 dig, 11 service points. Sophomore Makenna Bauer had 4 kills, 1 ace, 1 block, 4 digs, 3 service points. Sophomore Miranda Goodman had 23 assists, 2 kills, 4 aces, 2 digs, and 11 service points.
