South Allegheny barely beat Elizabeth Forward the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Gladiators were the clear victors by a 3-0 margin over the Warriors on Monday. That's more bragging rights for the Gladiators, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
One reason for the win was South Allegheny's just kept getting better, winning each set by more points than the last. The final score came out to 25-21, 25-18, 25-17.
South Allegheny was led to victory by Violet Pastories and Angelina Laguardia. Pastories had 11 digs and one assist, while Laguardia had five digs. That's the most digs Pastories has posted since back in September of 2024. Naomi Ielase also deserves some recognition as she had her first kills of the season.
South Allegheny was lethal from the service line and finished the game with 15 aces. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now served at least seven aces in five consecutive games.
