The Chagrin Falls Tigers will venture away from home to challenge the Crestwood Red Devils at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Chagrin Falls has seven straight wins, Crestwood has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.

Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-22, 25-23, 25-17.
Among those leading the charge was Sadie Conrad, who had 13 digs and one assist. Margaret Svette also deserves some recognition as she had her first block of the season.
