Spikers hang tough with Orion

Cambridge varsity volleyball players won one match during the week, but fell short in another.
Cambridge vs. ROWVA
On Monday, Sept. 22, the Lady Vikes took on the ROWVA Tigers. ROWVA did not come close point wise, and the ladies ended play winning in two games.
"We played very well overall and executed at the net well," stated Coach Chad Hamerlinck. "We played very smart on offense and defense."
The game went quickly and easy, and it was good practice for the upcoming Saturday match with Orion.
