CONVOY - Crestview dominated Jefferson in the first two sets (25-13, 25-12) and barely held on to win the third (25-21) Tuesday night in the Northwest Conference volleyball opener for both teams at The Castle of Crestview High School.
The Knights are now 4-2 overall, the Lady Wildcats 3-4.
The visitors jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first set, courtesy of three Crestview errors. After the ’Cat serve went into the net, to make it 3-1, Jefferson junior Lindsay Deuel’s soft kill made it 4-1 but it was all Knights after that. Crestview went on a 17-3 run, led by sophomore middle blocker Courtney Trigg, to lead 18-7. With Crestview up 19-10, the Knights got five nice kills in a row -- two by junior outside hitter Kirstin Hicks and three by sophomore middle blocker Megan Hartman -- to lead 24-10. After three straight Jefferson points, Hartman dumped one into the open court to end the set.
