Bishop Diego 3, St. Bonaventure 0
The Cardinals came away with a Tri-Valley League sweep of visiting Seraphs, 25-21, 25-12, 25-23. Bishop Diego is now 4-1 in the TVL and 10-5 overall.
Liam Flood led the way with 11 kills on 22 swings, and Braylon Katers had 10 kills.
“While we didn’t serve as many aces as we would have liked, we cut our service errors by 65%,” Cardinals coach Dillan Bennett said. “St. Bonaventure was a strong team with physical hitters, and while we had a pretty good game plan in mind, we also didn’t hurt ourselves with errors.
“The other night, we committed an error for every two points we scored. Tonight, we played a cleaner match, and we’re hoping this is a turning point in our season.”
