The Conwell-Egan Catholic (CEC) Eagles Girls Volleyball team earned a three-set win over Truman High School (25-20, 25-9, 25-12). While the Eagles claimed the match in straight sets, early mistakes in the opening frame required the team to refocus and tighten their play to finish strong.

CEC adjusted after the first set, settling into a more consistent rhythm and controlling the pace in the final two sets.
