Tuesday evening featured a rivalry match-up between the Hanover Hawks and Lee-Davis Confederates girls volleyball teams. Both schools debuted in the top 5 of last week’s Super 6 rankings, and looked to build on their success with a big win over another ranked opponent. It was a well fought match, but in the end Hanover was the more disciplined team and capitalized on a buffet of mistakes by Lee-Davis and took the win 3-1
.
The Confederates came out strong, and convincingly won the first set 25-16 thanks to some brilliant play by sophomore Mackenzie Wright, but were beaten 25-17 in set two by a resurgent Hanover. L-D found themselves down 7 points late in set 3 and attempted a comeback, but fell just short losing 25-22. The final set was close at first, but the Hawks went on a 10-3 run at the end to win the set 25-17, and secure their 3-1 victory.

Hanover was led by Miranda Hall’s 12 kills, Rebecca Hoover’s 18 digs, and Kendall Pully’s impressive 48 assists in the win. The Hawks extend their winning streak to 9 games, and improve to a 12-3 record on the season. They finish off this week at home against Highland Springs Thursday, and play host to Patrick Henry next Tuesday.ext Thursday.

Lee-Davis saw a great performance from senior Rachel Gaston, who led the team with 13 kills, 4 blocks, and 7 digs. Anna Soroka contributed 28 assists and 3 aces, and Mackenzie Wright recorded 3 aces of her own in the loss. The Confederates fall to 6-6 on the season, and will finish off this week with a home game against Armstrong on Thursday.

FIELD HOCKEY: Lee-Davis, Hanover Win On Rivalry Night

At the same time, at two locations, all four county field hockey teams were in action against each other in the first what will be many simultaneous "rivalry nights" now that Patrick Henry has joined Atlee, Hanover, and Lee-Davis in the Capital District.

In Mechanicsville, which just barely missed a torrential rainstorm which could have forced a postponement, Lee-Davis allowed an Atlee goal just two minutes into the match, then shut down the Raiders the rest of the way, taking a 3-1 victory to improve to 1-1. The Raiders, who lost to 5A power Gloucester last Tuesday in their season opener 9-0, falls to 0-2.

Lee-Davis was led by senior captain Lauren Wolfgang, who scored both the tying and go-ahead goals in a seven-minute stretch to give the Confederates the lead for good at 2-1 with 17:48 left in the first half. Ciarra Ashworth added an insurance goal in the second half.

Faith Anna scored the lone Raider goal.

Meanwhile, in Ashland, it was the Kane connection as Kora Kane scored twice, Keri Kane once as the Hawks improved to 2-0 with a 3-1 win at Patrick Henry.

Diana Sagal scored the Patriots lone goal with five minutes left in the match. Patrick Henry falls to 1-1.

(A rainbow from a nearby storm appears over the stadium tonight at Lee-Davis...)
