WINNSBORO – The Lady Eagles improved their overall record to 9-1 with Monday’s home victory over Chester’s Lady Cyclones. This was the second meeting of these two teams in less than a week’s time, and once again Richard Winn prevailed in three straight games, 25-19, 25-17 and 25-7. At Chester last week the visiting Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Cyclones, 25-16, 25-9 and 25-9.
Back in the starting lineup was libero Megan Simpson after sitting out the previous week with a hip injury. Senior starter Emily Brigman is still on the disabled list, but is hopeful to return to action by the end of the week after nursing a sprained ankle from several weeks ago.
The Lady Eagles traveled to Heathwood Hall in Columbia Tuesday, upping their record to 10-1 with a 3-2 win over the Lady Highlanders, 19-25, 25-12, 22-25, 25-12 and 15-10.
RWA travels to Greenwood on Thursday to face their second region opponent, Cambridge Academy. Results were not available at press time.
