LERAYSVILLE — Northeast Bradford took a different route to get there,
but in the end prevailed in another five-set thriller over Athens here
Monday night in NTL volleyball action.
The Lady Wildcats pulled
out a pair of close sets — 27-25 and 25-23, but the Lady Panthers
re-grouped and won the final three sets by scores of 25-19, 25-17, and
15-7.
Athens coach Heather Hanson said the night was a mixed bag for her team.
“The first two games were really close, and we pulled out wins ,which proved to me we are getting mentally tough.
“Then, the third game hit and our errors dug us into too many holes,” said Hanson. “It’s discouraging
loss.”

Athens, now 7-6, returns to action Tuesday at Troy.
