The first four games were so good, West and New Boston had to play five.
The Lady Tigers outlasted the Senators on Monday, finally ending the match in the fifth game to get a 25-17, 16-25, 25-18, 22-25, 15-8 victory at home.
New Boston coach Rachel Coriell said mistakes haunted her team and canceled out a solid night serving.
The Lady Tigers missed just three serves all night.
“We just had a really hard time tonight getting play going,” Coriell said. “We had some spurts of forward movement there and the girls took off. We made a couple rotation errors late in the game which cost us. We just had a hard time playing together tonight. We were slow.”
Katie Williams provided a spark tonight at the net, making plays on offense and defense.
Valley def. Coal Grove 25-8, 25-13, 25-16
With Jamie Montgomery handing out assists left and right, everything else fell into place for Valley.
“They are finally starting to jell,” Valley coach Teresa Alvelo said. “They played with confidence tonight and ran a solid offense. They came in confident and they stayed confident. It was just a really good night.”
The Lady Indians will get another test tonight at Northwest.
Montgomery finished with 31 assists and was 16 of 17 serving with five aces and six digs.
Courtnie Merritt added 13 kills, Jordan Arbaugh 12 kills and four digs and Stephanie Andronis had seven kills, four aces and five digs.
Record - Valley 3-3, 1-3 SOC.

Minford 9, West 1
After scoring just two goals in the first half, Minford coach Mark Price had a few words to say at halftime.
Whatever they were, he should bottle them up.

“We moved the ball in the second half,” Price said. “I gave them a talk at halftime, a little motivation.”
Falcon keeper Chris Justice finished with seven saves while his team outshot Minford 25-8.
Trent Phillips scored both of Minford's goals in the first half.
West's goal was scored by Ben Keating.

The good scores weren't limited to South Webster.
