Volleyball: Penncrest battles its way into quarterfinals

MIDDLETOWN >> After beating Abington, 3-1, then taking down the net and briefly chatting with family and friends, nearly every member of the Penncrest volleyball team did what you would expect teenagers to do: They immediately went to their cell phones to find out the score of the Strath Haven-Mount St. Joseph’s match.

It did not take long for the Lions to let out a second celebratory roar.

The Mount upset the third-seeded Panthers, 3-0, which means the sixth-seeded Lions (18-4) will be at home in the quarterfinal round of the District One Class AAA tournament instead of on the road.

That’s fine with Penncrest. Of course, a rematch with Strath Haven would have been OK, too. The Lions are glad to still be playing.

The second round of the district tournament usually is where Penncrest’s season comes to an end. This is the first time the Lions have advanced to the quarterfinals since Jen Carney took over as head coach six years ago so the hard-fought, 25-23, 22-25, 25-12, 25-23 victory over the Ghosts was reason enough to celebrate.
