Lawrence Academy sits 14-1 overall and 6-1 in the Tarheel Independent Conference.

The Lady Warriors defeated Northeast Academy 25-15, 25-21 and 25-16 last week to secure their third victory in their last four outings.

Lawrence was led by Ashtyn Mizelle who recorded 13 kills during the afternoon to go with seven aces and two digs. Melissa White was perfect 11-for-11 on her serve during the afternoon as well. She had three aces to go with four kills and 10 digs.

Jennifer White recorded eight kills and eight digs to go with one block and was 12-of-13 serving during the match. Ashton Lyle had nine kills, four blocks and three digs and was good on nine of her 11 serves.

Taylor Sexton had 30 assists during the contest and added nine digs as well as one kill and four aces. Casey Belch had four digs during the contest and one ace.

The win was the third in the last four contests. The only loss for Lawrence came against Ridgecroft School.

Before the loss to the Lady Rams, however, Lawrence defeated both Greenfield School and Rocky Mount Academy in non-conference outings.

The Lady Warriors survived a five-set thriller with Rocky Mount winning by a count of 23-25, 25-5, 29 – 27, 21-25 and 17-15.

“Our best serving was in the second game,” said Lawrence volleyball boss Dr. Ed Clouse. “Ashtyn and Casey both served 11 points in the game which lasted only three rotations.

“Rocky Mount battled to the end and got us to play on our heels due to their much-improved hitting,” he added. “Serving was the difference as we were only 90 percent with a total of 24 aces.”

Mizelle again led the attack with 16 aces in 31 service points. She added 15 kills and nine digs during the afternoon. Lyle had four kills, four blocks and four aces as well as 10 digs.

Belch recorded 27 service points during the contest along with eight digs while Melissa White had eight digs and Jennifer White added eight digs and three blocks. Sexton recorded 18 assists.

Days before, the Lady Warriors knocked off Greenfield School in straight sets. They won 25-20, 25-17 and 25-10.

Sexton had 15 assists during the contest while Mizelle had nine aces and five kills. Jennifer White had six kills and Melissa White had five aces and seven digs. Belch added five digs and Lyle had three aces and four kills.
