Harvey and Stevenson combined for seven of the team’s nine aces from the serving line while Duryea had 15 digs to lead the defense.

The Redhawks remain undefeated through 13 region matches and are 23-4 this season.

“Taylor recently surpassed 1,500 kills and also made the Under Armour All-American team where she will play this coming spring in Orlando Florida. She has been our rock and continues to amaze us all, on and off the court,” head coach Kelsey White said. “Milika has also been a major standout and force to be reckoned with. This season she was the only junior on the team to be voted captain and has stepped into the role graciously and responsibly, doing a great job leading her team on and off the court. Adelaide has been a rockstar setter for us this year, running our offense efficiently and successfully. I am so proud of the way she has stepped into this new role and taken the challenge head on. Paisley Gosney, our freshman right side has been a key player for us, making it possible to spread the offense to open up our other hitters, making our overall offense one that is hard to stop.”
