ATHENS — Canton fought off Athens in the first set on its way to a sweep here Tuesday night in NTL volleyball action.
The Lady Warriors, now 2-0, won by scores of 25-19, 25-14, and 25-10.
“The
girls came out really fired up and fought hard in the beginning of the
first set,” said Athens coach Heather Hanson. “We could not handle
Cantons aggressive serving or relentless defense tonight.
Canton has always been a team that is relentless and will not let you score without a major battle,” she noted. “You have to earn points against them.
“The season has just started,” added Hanson. “It’s great to play an amazing team right away to have that reality check of what we need to do to get the ‘W’.”
