’Canes prep to take on Becahi
It’s seven sweeps and counting for the Liberty volleyball team, as the Hurricanes have been on fire ever since their loss to Parkland on September 10.
Winners of seven straight, including Monday night’s sweep (25-15, 25-17, 25-17) over Easton, Liberty is looking to keep their momentum going into the postseason.
“We’ve definitely been in the lighter part of our schedule,” said Liberty head coach Missy Lynn, “but we’ve been using this time to work on our weaknesses and tighten up our offense. We have definitely been working on a few things, namely our blocking and attacks from the outside.”
With Dieruff (3-6) in play tonight, Liberty (9-1) should extend their streak heading into tomorrow night’s pivotal clash with Bethlehem Catholic (8-2).
The Hawks have equaled the Hurricanes recent form as well, sweeping their last eight opponents after an 0-2 start to the season.
Thursday’s battle will likely have huge ramifications on who wins the East Penn Conference Steel Division as well.
“We’ve had our eyes on the Beca match since preseason,” Lynn said. “This is a huge division rivalry for us, and they’ve been dominating our matchups. We respect they’re returning state champions and have a strong line up, but as long as we control the ball on our side, we’ll give everyone a good show.”
Freedom (5-3) have won five straight as well after Monday’s win over Dieruff (25-15, 25-9, 25-11).
The Pates take on Becahi tonight, but finish out the week against Allen (3-7) tomorrow night.
With eight matches to go, Freedom has put themselves in position to qualify for the postseason.
