The Pike Liberal Arts junior varsity volleyball team picked up its first win of the season on Monday afternoon when they knocked off Abbeville Christian in two-straight games, 25-23, 25-21.

The win evens the Lady Patriots record after they lost their season opener last week on the road against Crenshaw Christian.

“The girls worked hard on their defense and moved their feet to get into position,” said JV head coach Mallory Floyd. “Overall, they did a fantastic job tonight of working together and playing their positions.”

Addison Henderson highlighted the match by scoring on 12-straight serves in the second game, including four aces. Emily Bryan also had seven aces in the match.

The varsity Patriots won their season opener against Crenshaw County last week by winning three straight. On Monday the Patriots were pushed to five games against Morgan Academy. After splitting the first four sets, the Patriots prevailed in game five, winning the match 23-25, 25-14, 25-12, 26-28, 15-12.

The Lady Patriots will host their first match of the season when they take on Morgan Academy beginning with the junior varsity at 5 p.m.
