DUKE CENTER, PA – Returning to the Terror Dome for the final time this season, the Otto-Eldred volleyball team recognized their prolific senior leadership before swiftly dispatching Oswayo Valley in three sets.
Ahead of their rematch with the Lady Green Wave, O-E pulled their seniors to center stage. Honored on the night was Rayel Hakes, Ayla Van Scoter, Emma Button, Bailee Olmstead, Jenna Prescott, Brooklyn Pearce and team manager Gabby Long.
After the procession and celebration, the Lady Terrors then turned their attention to OV. O-E opened with a decisive first set win at 25-23 before cruising to a 25-12 second victory to prime a clean sheet sweep. Sitting one set away from another North Tier League win, the Lady Terrors ended the night with a 25-19 game-sealing win.
Hakes ended with 14 kills, six blocks and 14 digs while Van Scoter tallied 12 digs and nine kills. Button facilitated the floor with 26 assists to go with her eleven digs, ten kills and three blocks, followed by Jahden Smith with seven digs and six kills.
While they still have three contests left in the regular season, a slate to be played all on the road and starting with Smethport on Wednesday, the Lady Terrors’ eyes are set on the postseason, where they look to make another run into the District 9 Class A bracket.
