LASKER – Northeast Academy grabbed a five-set volleyball win over Faith Christian School here last week.

The Lady Eagles won 25-20, 25-20, 21-25, 26-28 and 16-14.

“We won the first two sets fairly easily, but we lost our steam in the third and the beginning of the fourth,” said Northeast Volleyball Coach Cap Pfeiffer. “In the fourth set we came back and with eight straight serves from Lacy (Pfeiffer). That momentum gave us the power to take the fifth set.”

Jennifer Sykes led the way for the Lady Eagles with eight aces, seven tips, four assists and one kill while Pfeiffer had nine aces, four assists, three kills and two digs.

Sarah Taylor Best had two aces, two assists, a kill and a tip while Kelly Sykes provided five kills, two aces and two tips.
