A Palm Harbor player helped Clearwater Christian College women's volleyball team capture its sixth national title at the NCCAA Division II National Championships last weekend.

Sarah WildΒ plays as a setter for the Clearwater Christian College Lady Cougars. The Lady Cougars defeated Ozark Christian College in the final game of the National Championships which was held in Kissimmee.

"The fact that we had a balanced attack helped us during the national tournament. We were able to run a lot of different plays on offense because of good passing and digging across the board," said Lady Cougars Coach Vickie Denny.
