Now the trick for the Skaneateles girls volleyball team was not to get too sidetracked and focus on every match before the pair of showdowns with Cazenovia that would determine everything.
The Lakers cruised past Bishop Ludden 25-9, 25-8, 25-6 Tuesday night in its only match of the week to improve its record to 12-1.
Melissa Severance and Colleen Cargile each had five aces, with Cargile also contributing 10 assists. Julianna Augustine had six kills, with Gabby Eckles getting five kills, three aces and three assists. Alyssa Stevens had three aces.
Other than this, Skaneateles will spend the week practicing and, more importantly, resting to gear up for the regular-season homestretch, which commences a week after the Ludden match with a visit from Nottingham.
After next Friday’s match against Utica Proctor, the Lakers are going to Waterloo Saturday for the “Dig Pink” Tournament, part of a national effort by hundreds of volleyball programs to raise $2.5 million for breast cancer research.
