Crisp efforts carry Cavs to volleyball win
On other nights, Archbishop Spalding’s volleyball team might have been in for a four or even five-set match with the way the second set went on Wednesday against Annapolis Area Christian School.
Having already played two of the top teams in the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference, the Cavaliers (3-3, 3-2) did just enough to win the second set. With much more crisp performances in the first and third and with AACS (3-3, 1-3) missing its top player, the Cavaliers recorded their second straight sweep in the conference, 25-10, 25-21, 25-13.
“I told the girls after the match they played very well in game one and very well in game three, but in the second we had a few hiccups,” Spalding coach Scott Rombach said. “But, I think we did well. There’s just a few adjustments we have to make.”
Jacey Lewis led the Cavaliers with 11 kills and 10 digs, while making just two errors. She also served four straight points in the first set to help the Cavaliers begin to pull away.
One of the biggest things that impressed Rombach about Lewis’ play on Wednesday was one point where she touched the ball three times, but each time attempted a different shot.
Lewis had five of her kills in the tight second set, including on three of the Cavaliers’ final eight points and the one that clinched the set and set them up for the sweep.
