Adena Guarantees SVC Volleyball Title Share With Sweep at Westfall

The Adena Warriors used a balanced attack in a (3-0) sweep of the defending SVC champion Westfall Mustangs, Tuesday, to claim no worse than a share of their first SVC volleyball title since 2016.

The Warriors won 25-22, 25-18, 25-15 to run their record to (12-1) in the conference and (17-1) overall, while the Mustangs slip to (9-2/12-3). Westfall could still share the crown if they can win at Zane Trace Thursday and hope for a Huntington win at Adena.

Set #2 saw something similar, with Adena going up 7-4, 10-6, 16-10 and 21-15, then closing with a 25-18 win.

Set #3, was mostly Adena, breaking away from a 5-4 score to build leads of 10-5, 13-7, and 14-8 before Westfall closed the gap to 15-12, forcing a Warriors' timeout. After that break, Adena outscored Westfall 10-3 to claim the match.

Adena was led by Makenna Lovely's 13 kills, Ellie Harper with 9, Jenna Martin 6 kills and 2 block assists, Makaela Lovely and Hannah Burns each with 5 kills and Sydney Fogelsong added 4 kills, two solos and 3 block assists.
