The Buccaneers of Chartiers-Houston took the victory in straight sets (25-11, 25-23, 25-23) over the Avella Eagles Tuesday night. Led by head coach Sean Cleary, the Lady Bucs were able to win all three games despite some sloppy play at times.

In the beginning, it was a one-sided match. Avella had some communication problems and Char-Houston took advantage. Lex Tatano provided the offense with her powerful serve taking the team on a 6 point and 8 point run.  The Bucs took care of business, yet games two and three were a different story.

Coach Stephanie Woodruff calmed down her squad and Avella rallied on numerous occasions to stretch their leads.  The home squad had the final say though as they kept roaring back to tie, and eventually become the victor, in close games that came down to the final serve. 

Senior Montana Johnson started to pick up her serving game in the final match, which swung momentum towards Chartiers Houston and ultimately pulled them out on top.  The buccaneers were hoping to play more of a sound three games as they found themselves having to often come from behind. In the end, they were able to get back to the basics and complete the sweep as the visitors from Avella went down fighting.
