"Tough night for us," said Calvary Christian head coach John Wall. "We had trouble passing from their top server, giving away strings of points. We were continually trying to dig out of a hole. The defense was a little off.

"We're at the midway point of our season," Wall said. The Eagles are 12-0 overall and 7-0 MDCC. "Our girls give credit God credit for our wins. There is not a time between games that you won't see them saying a prayer."

Calvary also won the junior varsity match, 2-1. Game scores were 25-6, 22-26 and 15-4.

New Life drops to 4-2 in the conference, tied for third with Heritage. Grace is second at 6-1 behind Calvary.
