STANDISH-STERLING - Sep. 3, 2008 - Standish-Sterling held off Whittemore-Prescott's upset bid in the first and third games of Wednesday's NEMC volleyball match while dominating the middle game of a 25-23, 25-7, 25-22 sweep of the Cardinals.

Other than the middle game -- "At total team disaster which we've chosen to try and forget," said W-P coach Helen Loomis -- the Cards weren't overly disappointed with their play.

"I was quite pleased ... with games one and three," she said. "Serving and hitting errors were at a minimum and our blocking improved.

"Standish did a good job of finding the holes in our defense with some strategic tips."

W-P fell to 1-3 (0-2 NEMC) with the loss, while SSC is 2-0 in league play.

W-P Stats: Cortney Bork 15 points, 6 digs; Chelsea Jasman 4 points, 1 ace, 4 block kills, 10 digs, 5 spike kills; Chloe Moraitis 4 points, 1 ace, 5 spike kills, 5 digs; Larissa McGeathy 4 points, 2 block kills; Kayla Camp 17 assists; Leighanna Loomis 7 digs, 4 spike kills.
