Ike sweeps Iroquois

The Eisenhower volleyball team has felt its share of growing pains the last two seasons as the Knights tried to work their way back to the upper tier in Region 3. Those pains are starting to pay dividends. With a sweep over visiting Iroquois Thursday, Eisenhower picked up its fourth win of 2018, matching the total from 2016 and 2017 combined. “Every team that makes a run has to go through something to get to where they need to be,” Eisenhower coach Scott Olson said. “The past couple of weeks, we’ve been through a lot as individuals and as a team. We came to the realization ...

The scores don’t tell the story, however. Cambridge Springs is the defending region champ, which last year also included Maplewood, which won the Class 1A state title before bumping up to 2A this season. “I certainly believe that the first and the third games aren’t indicative of how well we played,” said coach Scott Olson. “We just have to find a way to overcome some ...

Eisenhower falls to Union

RIMBERSBURG, Pa. – Eisenhower hit the road to District 9 territory for a battle with Union, and came out on the short end of a 3-0 outcome, 16-25, 26-28, 8-25. “The girls are geared for teams that hit and attack,” said Eisenhower coach Scott Olson. “We struggled tonight against their free-ball and tip and roll.” With the first game tied at 16-16, Union, which has lost just once this season, went on a 9-0 run to close it out and then won a thriller in the second. “We were right in it,” Olson said of the first game. “The second game, we feel like we should have ...
