Girls' Volleyball Earns First Win of the Season
The Wayland team took home victory in a tough five-set match.
The Wayland girls' volleyball team Monday night took on Norton High School for the second time in a week, but this match featured a couple of distinct differences: Wayland played as the home team, and the end result had Wayland on top for its first win of the season.
The Warriors won the match 3-2, with sets of 11-25, 25-21, 25-12, 24-26 and 15-4.
"The girls fought tough after losing the first game 11-25 and never looked back," said coach Kristine Norrman. "I was very impressed with their determination to win after losing to Norton just last week."
