RUSSELL — Eisenhower made quick work of West Middlesex 25-15, 25-16, 25-18 in nonregion volleyball Monday.
Eisenhower came out and led from start to finish in each game. The Knights were led offensively by senior Layla Edwards, who had eight kills and six aces; junior Paisley Lawson, who had six kills; and senior Riley Robinault, who added three kills, two blocks and an ace.
“We were able to make some changes tonight and move some players around and get some players some court time at different positions,” Eisenhower head coach Lori Pascuzzi said. “It was good to see that we can move some players around and we can still play as a team.”
Defensively, Eisenhower was led by senior Lainey Font, who had 18 receptions and 12 digs. Lawson added 10 receptions and 16 digs.
For the seniors, it was their last game on their home court and that was not lost on Pascuzzi.

“It was certainly an emotional night and it being pink out, that added to our emotions, but our girls handled it well,” she said “It was good to see everyone get court time for the home fans who have come out for all our games.”
Eisenhower improved to 11-4 overall on the season. The Knights will return to action Thursday when they travel to Cochranton for a Region 3 game.
