ONONDAGA COUNTY – On the way to another series of victories, the Liverpool girls volleyball team reached a milestone.
The Warriors’ 25-12, 25-9, 25-9 sweep of Corcoran last Monday night meant that head coach Walter Brainerd had reached 100 career wins.

Allyson Crandall, with seven assists, and Alexis Knox, with four assists, worked the back line as Addie Tanton got three assists. Crandall and Eliana Page both picked up four aces.
