LEES CREEK — Williamsburg clinched at least a share of the SBAAC National Division volleyball championship Thursday night at the East Clinton gym.

But it wasn’t easy.

The Lady Astros battled tooth and nail in a four-set 20-25, 25-27, 25-22, 26-28 loss.

“Every single set was a battle and my girls never gave up,” EC coach Sarah Sodini said. “Just a couple of service errors and a couple of hitting errors made the difference.

“Williamsburg is a good team but we gave them a run for it. A loss is no fun but we went down fighting.”

East Clinton is 13-3 overall and 9-2 in the division. Williamsburg is 16-1 overall and 10-0 in the National.
