OWENSVILLE — After an excruciating slow start, East Clinton stormed back and routed Clermont Northeastern 20-25, 15-25, 25-4, 25-8, 25-9 in SBAAC National Division volleyball action.

“After a slow start, the girls got into a groove and played their game,” EC coach Sarah Sodini said. “I can’t say enough about how proud I am of them for coming back and winning by such big margins after losing the first two sets.”
