WINDSOR – Perennial powerhouse in the volleyball world, the Windsor Black Knights faced the Norwich Purple Tornado on Thursday night in a STAC divisional match. Norwich fought hard but Windsor defeated the Tornado 3-0.

“Our serves were right on but attack coverage hurt us,” said Norwich head coach Shelly Alger. “Windsor has outstanding attackers that are very difficult to handle. We worked extremely hard and I’m very proud of the girls they gave it their all.

“There is nothing wrong with losing as long as you lose to a better team and have given it your all.”

Game one was decided by just five points as Windsor won 25-20. The Black Knights took game two 25-16 and game three 25-15.

Norwich’s Gabby Eddy led the attack with eight kills while teammate Lexi Taylor finished with six kills. Sam Binelli had nine digs to control the Tornado defensively. Taylor also had five digs.
