Cardinal didn’t let an emotional loss to rival Berkshire earlier in the week carry over into Thursday’s Chagrin Valley Conference showdown at Harvey.
The Huskies cruised to a three-game sweep of the Red Raiders, 25-5, 25-9, 25-14.
“We had a strong serving game tonight,” said Cardinal coach Karisca Chambers. “We did a nice job of keeping our missed serves to a minimum. We did a nice job of utilizing free balls and spreading the kills across the board.”
Kaylee Klepper led the Huskies with nine kills and also pitched in with six digs.
“It was a super important win for us tonight,” Klepper said. “After losing on Tuesday, tonight’s win proved that we are all ready to move on, learn from our mistakes, and work harder and harder every day. Personally, my mindset coming into today’s game was the bounce back. It is hard as an athlete to be pleased with your own performance, but I am so eager and ready to move forward and keep improving as a team and individually.”
Faith Peters and Camille Cummins both contributed with four kills while Megan Zeigler and Kaitlyn Shantery each had three. Shantery also had six digs and Cummins finished with four.
Hanna Traggiai led the Huskies with 24 assists and Ashley Gubanyar posted a team high 11 digs in the win.
The Huskies, who improved to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in the CVC, travel to the Chardon tournament on Saturday.
