The C. Milton Wright boys volleyball side grabbed a road victory on Wednesday, dropping the host-team Patterson Mill Huskies in three straight games.
The visiting Mustangs took the first matchup 25-22, then won the second game by the relatively large margin of 25-16, and wrapped things up with a 25-19 victory in the deciding contest.
"In the second set, I was very pleased that our service game came back together after our focusing on it in practice," CMW head coach Rich Moyers said. "We felt a surge of energy rush to our side of the net. This emboldened more aggressive setting and hitting, which came from all three positions along the front row. This energy rode us into the third set, which allowed me to play some of my journeymen players, who benefited from the faster play, and seasoned guidance of my starting players on the court."
Ryan Walsh led the Mustang effort, putting up 12 kills, four assists, two aces and two digs. John Heagerty helped the winning cause with seven kills, two digs and four aces, while teammate Justin Pezzella came through with one kill, one dig and a match-high 29 assists.
Alex Abild had eight kills for the Huskies, while teammate Tyler Ostendorf led netted 13 assists and four kills. Mike Burrill and Paul Gentry had three and two kills, respectively, in the defeat.
