Southern Pines, NC The Cardinal Gibbons Crusaders swept the Pinecrest Patriots on the road on Tuesday night to advance to the 4A state championship match.
Gibbons came out of the gates dominant, as it stormed out to a 25-11 win in the first set with relative ease.
The second set ended with the same score, but started with a 4-0 run by Pinecrest, a sign that the battle-ready Patriots weren t going to go down easily.
The offensive attack made up of junior setter Celia Ryan and outside hitter and University of Delaware signee Emily Chrysogelos was effective throughout the match, and the duo was instrumental in helping the Crusaders to two lopsided set wins.
