Cathedral Lady Irish volleyball bested the Bishop Chatard Lady Trojans in four sets in front of a packed house at the Welch Activity Center on CYO Night on Tuesday, September 10. Fans of both schools filled the stands and saw the Lady Irish win the first two sets convincingly, drop set three, then extinguish all hopes of a Lady Trojan comeback with a dominating fourth set win to take the match 3-1 (25-18, 25-15, 19-25, 25-12). Sarah Casper blistered the Chatard defense with 18 kills on 33 attacks for a .545 kill percentage, misconnected on only 2 attacks for a torrid .485 hitting percentage, and led the Lady Irish defensive effort with 19 digs for the match. Mae Hedrick picked up where she left off in previous matches with 48 assists on 92 ball handling attempts, again with zero ball handling errors.
The Lady Irish face Sectional foes Lawrence North and Lawrence Central in their next two matches, September 12 and September 17, respectively.
