The Trojans won the first (26-24) and third games (27-25), but Greencastle took games two (25-22) and four (25-15).

“It was a big-time team effort tonight, with scrappy play,” G-A coach Corry Eagler said. “Lily Kauffman, Kylie Kerns and Bri Woodring all played great games.”

Abby Eagler was outstanding at the net, cashing in 26 kills. That broke the school record for one match, which had been held by Rachel Verhoef, set in 2018.

Kauffman had 9 kills, Kerns earned half of G-A’s 20 aces and added 29 assists, Woodring had 19 digs and Eagler also had 18 digs.

Blue Devil coach Aric Bruner said, “That was quite a physical game for our first game of the year. You could tell early that East Penn had a few games under their belt, but I thought for good portions of the game, we controlled possession.

Greencastle goalkeeper Ethan Ford made 9 saves, including one huge save near the end of regulation to keep EP off the board.
