Falcons Shut Out East Hartford

FErmi tuned up for the state tournament by shutting out East Hartford 3-0 in boys volleyball action Tuesday in Enfield.

Game scores were 25-16, 25-19 and 25-23.

Standouts for the Falcons were Cody Brown with 25 assists and five kills, Greg Zaylor with nine kills and four blocks, Josh Cheney with 17 kills, six blocks and six service points, and Nick Robert with 10 service points.

"Tonight the boys showed how good of a team they can actually be," Fermi coach Alex Pyznar said. "In both the second and third games, they were forced to pull it together and overcome a 6-9 lead by East Hartford. A lot of teams will see a huge lead by the opposing team and just lose it, but my team can really pull it together if they are on."

The Falcons improved their record to 12-4 heading into Wednesday's match against Norwich Free Academy.

"We have a tough game, senior night against Norwich; last time we met at the beginning of the season, we won in 5.  Then Thursday night, we play at South Windsor. If we can pull out the win, we can tie for the CCC East conference, which was one of our goals this year," Pyznar said.
