Sheffield rallies in fourth set to beat Brockway
Trailing 24-17 in the fourth set against visiting Brockway on Thursday, Sheffield coach Melissa Lemay knew her team would have to play mistake-free in order to win.
They did.

“They did not give up,” Lemay said of her team. “They battled.”
This gave Sheffield a season sweep of Brockway, but Lemay noted the improvement she saw in their opponent.
“Brockway is much improved from the team we played just a week ago,” she said. “There’s nothing more dangerous than playing a team that you beat.”
Leading Sheffield were Mya Grubbs (7 service points, 7 kills, 31 assists), Eliza Davidson (12 kills), Marissa Grubbs (16 service points, 6 kills) and Lexi Lyon (12 service points, 11 kills, 5 blocks).

Megan Johnson (9 service points, 7 aces, 8 assists) and Lily Lauffenberger (7 service points, 5 kills) paced Sheffield.
