The Bellwood-Antis volleyball team took down Tyrone last night winning three sets to two.

It wasn’t easy, as BA fell in the first set 25-23, and was pushed to a fifth and deciding set.

“It wasn’t hard once we all got into it,” said Lindsey Southworth. “Tyrone played a good game.”

The Lady Devils pulled away winning the fifth set 15-6, coming back after the loss in the fourth set.

“Our serving killed us first game, but once we got that under control we were able to pull ahead,” said Lindsey.

Junior Kamrynn Mercer felt it came down to nerves.

“Going to Tyrone, with their student section, we were nervous,” she said. “But once we got in the flow of the game we were OK.”

Bellwood girls stole the second set 25-23. Bellwood scored another win in the third set, winning 25-11.  Tyrone forces a fifth set by dominating Bellwood 25-16.
