GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
Just like cross country, Girls Volleyball had its greatest week of the season as they picked up two big, crucial wins on the week! Ellwood City defeated the Mohawk Warriors in straight sets on Tuesday while picking up one of the biggest victories in volleyball history as they battled to win 3-1 against 2nd place Neshannock Lancers. The Wolverines lock themselves into playoffs with the win, but there is more to be haved - four more section games remain along with a non-section match against Central Valley.
