Sheffield, WCCS notch wins; Warren falls to defending state champ Corry

BROCKWAY – Sheffield used a strong serving game to gain a road sweep of Brockway, 25-14, 25-9 and 25-16.

Mya Grubbs led the way from the service line with 11 service points and 17 assists. Callen Copely added 13 service points and Lexi Lyon had 10 service points to go along with seven kills and six blocks.

“For us, (being successful) is serving really well and receiving their serves,” Sheffield coach Melissa Lemay said.

The Wolverines are becoming intimately familiar with the Raiders as they competed in Brockway’s tournament over the weekend and will host the Raiders in a match next week. Lemay said her team is happy their four-game road trip is coming to an end.

“We’re at Elk County (Catholic) tomorrow night, then we get to come home next week,” she said.
