Jaguars Volleyball improves to 21-5 overall with 3-0 sweep at Minnewaska Area

The Jaguars pounced on the Lakers in game one, stretching an early 10-6 lead into a double-digit lead that they held onto in a 25-11 win. They coasted in games two and three, winning 25-14, 25-15.

The match marked the first varsity start in the career of freshmen Taylor Braegelman, part of the starting six in place of Julie Hieserich, who was out with illness. Braegelman played with ice in her veins to the tune of 21 set assists - not bad for a rookie!
