The Wellsboro Varsity Volleyball team swept Loyalsock in the District IV Class 2A Semi-Finals at Athens on Tuesday, October 29.

Wellsboro won 25-11 in the first set, held on for a 27-25 win in the second set, and won 25-20 in the third to close out the match.

Seniors Paige Logsdon and Lexi Urena both recorded 12 kills each to lead the Lady Hornets while junior Taylor Main had 9 assists, 7 points and 5 digs. Sophomore Ellie Largey made 10 assists and had 5 digs and 6 points, sophomore Madison Cruttenden had 9 digs, and freshman Adelyn Frantz and junior Alyssa Chilson had 5 kills each.

Urena also scored 12 points (4 aces) and made 10 digs while Logsdon added 3 solo blocks.

"We started out strong all around the first set," head coach Darci Pollock said. "We did not let our nerves get to us and played with confidence. We had some challenges in the second and third sets but worked hard to close out on another close game. These girls have worked so hard this season and have wanted this since day one. We know what we are up against tomorrow night, and we are ready to give it everything we have. I am so proud of this team for their dedication and determination. They work so well together and really know how to encourage each other to reach their goals."

Wellsboro returns to Athens on Thursday to take on Troy, who defeated Williamson 3-1 in Tuesday's nightcap. First serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
