The Varsity Panthers came to play on Tuesday. They dominated and made their presence known in their third win of the season. They won the first set 25-9, the second 25-16 and the third 25-15. 

Maddie Ayers led the squad in kills with 16. She also added ten digs and nine service points. Megan Lashley was just behind with 14 kills of her own.

“I was very proud of my girls tonight. We started strong and stayed strong throughout the match,” Head Coach Megan Williams said. “We attacked well and were aggressive behind the service line which were two key factors to our success.” 

That moves the Lady Panthers to 3-1 on the season. They are a tightly-knit group that is going to continue to grow together and improve throughout the season.
