North Decatur Lady Chargers are now on a 4-win streak after a battle against South Ripley on Tuesday evening! The Chargers earned the win after 5 long sets. Teamwork from all the girls is what led to the victory as well as individual players stepping up to the plate and playing with intensity.
The Chargers had a great defensive night led by libero, Hannah Gorrell who picked up 28 digs. Madi Allen grabbed 23 digs on the night, Clare Kinker picked up 17 digs, and Kelsey Haley and Sarah Moeller both grabbed 11 digs.

The JV Lady Chargers team fought 3 tough sets against the Raiders and lost in the 3rd (19-25, 25-20, 14-16).
