“Tonight was a battle,” said Indians Coach Chad Brock. “These are the kind of macthes that you love to be in. From the scouting reports, I knew they had some big kids that could bang and block. We played to our strengths and won as a team.

“As you can see from the stats anybody on our team can get the job done. We played to our strengths and pulled out the win.”

Southampton will travel to Colonial Heights today to play Warhill, who defeated Colonial Heights in three straight sets. Southampton previously lost to Warhill.

“We are playing much better ball now,” Brock said. “If we play like we did tonight we have a lot more

volleyball to play this year.”
