The OCA varsity Lady Eagles bounced back with straight sets home victory over Normal Park last Tuesday.

OCA picked up a 25-23 victory in a back-and-forth first set and the second set was tied 6-6 when Andrea

Parsons stepped to the line to serve for the home team.

seven straight service points before Normal Park finally got back on the board. However, the visitors’ run would last just one point as Presley Butcher went back to serve for the Navy-and-gold with her team in front, 13-7.

Normal Park would never serve again as Butcher reeled off 12 consecutiv­e service points, including several aces, as the Lady Eagles ran away to a 25-7 victory to clinch the match.

match and other individual stats were unavailabl­e as of press time.
