It took some time for Kirtland to find its groove at Richmond Heights on Tuesday, but once they found that rhythm the Hornets cruised to a 3-0 sweep of the Spartans.
Kirtland improved to 4-1 overall with a 25-16, 25-18, 25-18 victory.
“Our team tonight started off a bit slow but finished strong to pull through for the win,” said senior captain Elise Frazee. “Richmond Heights made us work for it though.”
The Spartans had success early, finding open spots on the court.
Kirtland’s defense made the necessary adjustments then cruised to the three-game win.
“I was exceptionally impressed with their offense and ability to put the ball in strategic places,” Frazee said of the Spartans. “My team soon picked up on this, however, and we were able to adjust and slow down the pace of the game in order to get a good volley going and get some points out of it.”
Kirtland now has won three straight games.
The Hornets step out of conference play on Wednesday to host Chardon.
“I think we all are starting to see coherence in our plays, and I’m excited to see what my team will do moving forward in the season,” Frazee said.
