NorthWood played a complete game and proved the better team Saturday night in a stunning 3-1 win over No. 5 West Noble in the championship game at the Wawasee Volleyball Sectional.
The championship is the seventh straight for the Panthers, stifling West Noble's shot at winning its first since 2018.
The Lady Chargers finish its season 29-3 overall, winners of the NECC regular season and tournament championships and finish with the most wins in a season in team history.
Nothing at all to be ashamed of, and the future is bright as the program graduates just two players in Abby Seigel and Beverly Vizcaino.
Good luck to the Panthers as they carry on in the state tournament.
The boys and girls cross country teams both qualified for the regional round after finishing fourth in their respective standings. The boys were led by Graysen Ruch's fifth place finish and the girls had Karla Dominguez finish tenth to lead their charge. Each team will compete at the New Haven Regional held at Huntington University next Saturday morning.
The volleyball team advances to tonight's sectional championship at Wawasee, beating Tippecanoe Valley 3-0 in the sectional semi-finals earlier this afternoon. West Noble will get NorthWood in the championship game, looking to win its first sectional title since 2018.
Game time is at 6 p.m. tonight at the Hardwood Teepee. Be there, and be loud!
Xymire Barnes-Bridges had a pair of touchdowns, and McKale Bottles, Xavier Yates, Brayden Limerick
and Ryan Gross all added a score as the Chargers finish the regular season 7-2 overall.
