Newman Catholic defeated Pacelli in WIAA Volleyball Semifinals Thursday evening, 25-22, 25-17, 25-16.
¨Our middles stayed involved in the offense and our defense was quick to react to Pacelli’s attacks whether a swing or a tip. We struggled at the service line, missing 6 serves in just the first set,” explained Newman Assistant Coach Ashley Lange. ¨We cleaned up those errors, committed to blocking, and took the match in 3. ¨
