Ambridge visited the AAC last night and departed with their first section defeat of the season, as the Chargers played inspired, aggressive volleyball to take a section win from the Bridgers.  The junior varsity began the evening with an inspiring 2-0 match win to avenge an earlier loss to the Bridgers at Ambridge.  The individual scores were 25-17 and 25-15.  
The varsity picked up where the jv left off, as they played inspired in front of the home crowd and took set one by the score of 25-18. Set two saw Ambridge play much better and tie up the match at one set apiece as they won set two by the score of 25-19.  The Chargers made sure they showed Ambridge that they were not going to go away, as they fought hard to take set three with a score of 25-19, and go up 2 sets to 1 in the match.  Set four saw the Chargers roar out to an 8-3 lead, but after an Ambridge time out, the Bridgers stormed back to get it to 8-7 before the Chargers again made a run that eventually got to be too much for the Bridgers to overcome and won the set going away with a score of 25-15.  This gave the match win to the Chargers and put them in a tie for the section lead with identical  7-1 records. 
The stat lines for the players were as follows:  Paul Belak:  10 kills, 16 digs and 2 blocks, Andrew Schnarre: 14 kills, 9 digs and 1.5 blocks
Jake Horigan:  8 kills and 17 digs, Brock Saftner:  36 assists, 12 digs, and 1 block, Colin Weigand:  5 kills and 5 blocks, Ryan Parker:  4 kills and 3 blocks, 
Sig Saftner:  8 digs, Mike King:  1 ace and 1 dig, and Jeremy Ciaramella:  1 ace.  The boys are 9-2 overall and will taek on the BCCS Eagles tomorrow night at the AAC.  Hope to see you there.
