Ellwood City Girls Volleyball has officially started for the Lady Wolverines as they defeated the Ambridge Bridgers in three straight sets to pick up the early season victory.
The Wolverines came right out of the gate, having a double-digit lead in the first set, ultimately winning 25-19. Ellwood City did one better yet in the second set, winning 25-18 to go up two sets to none.
The big factor tonight for the Lady Wolverines was serving as several players like Alyssa Donley, Morgan Hooker, and Delaney Sturgeon went on multiple point streaks while on offense. Defense was carried by the likes of Emma Figurel and Lana Nocera. Amber McQuistion, Ava Lucarelli, and Claire Noble tallied multiple strikes at the net as the best set of the night went into the books in favor of Ellwood City 25-15.
The Wolverines start the season 1-0 (0-0) and will look to another non-conference matchup Thursday night as they travel to take on South Side. JV is slated for 6:00 PM and Varsity at 7:30 PM.
EC Girls Tennis lose to Cougars 4-1
One of the toughest Fall Sports classifications got under way Wednesday afternoon as Ellwood City traveled to Blackhawk to take on the Cougars during the first week of Girls Tennis match play.
The Wolverines started right out of the gate against a tough Beaver County opponent in the Cougars and unfortunately came out on the wrong end of things 4-1.
Leading the way for Ellwood City was Senior Maddy McCommons who won her match in convincing fashion, 6-2, 6-1 and earned the lone point for the Wolverines. Kailyn Hamilton battled strong for Ellwood forcing three sets and just coming up short of earning EC another point.
#1 Doubles Tessa Folino and Lacey Kennedy battled tough as well winning the first set 6-4, but ended up dropping the next two sets 1-6 each.
The Wolverines start the season 0-1 (0-0), but will quickly slide into conference play against Beaver as Tuesday’s game was moved to Thursday. The match is slated for 3:30 PM vs. Beaver at Ewing Park Courts.
