The Kentridge High girls volleyball team squeezed a 3-2 win out over Kent-Meridian on Monday night to remain tied for first at 8-1 with Tahoma and Todd Beamer.
What would ordinarily have been a standard league game became a pivotal match for Kentridge to maintain its standing in the South Puget Sound League North Division after the Chargers first league loss to Tahoma last Friday.
“I am very proud of my team for fighting back for the win on Monday,” Kentridge coach Deanna Colston said. “The girls did a great job. Kent-Meridian played an impressive game.”
Senior Chantelle Williams had 15 kills and Lexi Nguyen put down 14.
Junior Regan Denny served 19 balls and had three aces, followed by Melanie Dillon and Natalie Clifton who bagged two aces each.
Nguyen pulled her weight defensively, digging out nine plays, while LaDrea Ford stuffed four balls.
Kentridge plays in the SPSL volleyball tournament on Thursday night.
