Norwich sweeps Lions, advances to semifinals
NORWICH – The Norwich Purple Tornado put on a show for their fans when they easily handled the Lions of Dryden, sweeping them 3-0.
This quarterfinal match on Nov. 1, featured third seeded Norwich as the host of sixth seeded Dryden.
“(The) girls were very excited to play tonight, their adrenaline was flowing sky high,” said Norwich head coach Shelly Alger. “They had a great time playing and all girls did get a chance to play.”
The easy 3-0 sweep, featured a Norwich team that allowed double digits only once in the three sets – last set. The Tornado girls dominated the game from start to finish claiming wins of 25-9 in the first set, 25-8 in the second set, and 25-12 in the third and final set.
Leading Norwich's charge was senior Meghan Komendarek who had six aces, one block and four push point. Remarkably, Komendarek also added 21 kills on the Lions. Following Komendarek, Riley Strong had one ace and seven assists; Kara Evans had one ace, four kills, and four push points; Kalie Binelli had four aces, four kills and one push point; Leahanne Humphrey had five aces and 10 assists; Kalie Fleming had one dig; and Alexis Taylor added one ace and one kill.
“We have a really tough night coming up Thursday as we travel to Owego to play in pool play,” said coach Alger.
Notably in the Section IV Class B varsity volleyball tournament, Oneonta is coming off a 3-0 win over Johnson City; while Windsor is coming off a 3-0 win as well over Waverly. Top-seeded Owego earned a quarterfinal round bye.
With the four teams advancing to the semifinals – first seeded Owego, second seeded Windsor, third seeded Norwich, and fifth seeded Oneonta – the four final teams will advance to play next at Owego, on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 4:30 p.m., where they will play in pool-play. As of press time on Nov. 2, it is unknown who Norwich will be matched up with on Nov, 3.
