Hampstead, MD - Back in September, the Howard Community College Dragons narrowly lost their season opener to the Carroll Community College Lynx. One month later, they returned the favor.
The Dragons stunned the Lynx on their homecoming with a 3-0 sweep, outperforming the Lynx in every statistical category. The Dragons narrowly won the first and third sets, while controlling the second set from start to finish. The win moves the Dragons to 8-7 on the season, nearly tripling their win total from last season. It also moves them into the 9-seed in the upcoming Region 20 playoffs!
Gracie Close (Elkridge, MD/Long Reach) led the Dragons with ten kills and seven digs on the night.
Zyon Austin (Odenton, MD/Meade) recorded eight kills and eleven digs, while
Stefamae Barquillia (Samar, The Philippines/Einstein) added a team-high 17 digs.
Cheyenne Ellis (Eldersburg, MD/Century) had a phenomenal night with ten digs and 23 assists, while
Abigail Leis (Ellicott City, MD/Mt. Hebron) added four kills, two blocks, and three aces.
The Dragons travel to Deep Creek Lake this weekend to take on Garrett College and Baltimore City Community College in their final tri-matches of the season!
