Crystal City gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the St. Augustine Knights with a sharp 3-0 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Javelinas also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Crystal City never let St. Augustine on the board, but things got pretty close in the first set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 26-24, 25-9, 25-13.
