Salem Stepp posted 14 digs to lead C-N in that category and Haley Bush's two service aces led all players. "Brevard has an up and coming team. We were pleased to get this win tonight as Brevard has defeeated a couple teams in our conference and taken several others to 5 games. I was pleased with how our players really stepped up tonight against them. Nikki James shut down alot of their hitters by blocking alot of balls. I believe that really took them out of their offense. We have Newberry on Saturday and that is a BIG hurdle for us to jump. Newberry has tough hitters and scrappy defense." says Coach Mincey

The Lady Eagles return to Holt Fieldhouse for a 2:00 p.m. match on Saturday, October 20 against Newberry.
