GALWAY Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake senior setter Claire Isaksen could see the difference during the second non-league volleyball match between her team and Galway.
“We played them earlier in the season,” Isaksen said Saturday after the Spartans’ three-set win in the Eagles’ gym. “They’ve improved so much.”
That was the objective when Galway coach Mike Glenn set up a series of non-league matches between his Class D squad and some of the best the Suburban Council has to offer.
Class A-sized Burnt Hills won Saturday’s match 25-10, 25-11, 25-19, after prevailing against the Eagles on March 27 by scores of 25-5, 25-17, 25-8.

SCHENECTADY Ballston Spa senior Anna Pilkey drilled the ball hard into the Schenectady defense several times early in Wednesday’s Suburban Council volleyball match at the Pat Riley Sports Center.
Later on, she continued to hammer, but also scored a few more points on well-placed dinks.
“When I was a sophomore, I just hit the ball,” the Scotties’ co-captain said after her team had rallied for a 3-2 win over the Patriots. “I wanted to catch them on their heels so I threw a tip in there to trick them, or I smashed it. I have added tools to my repertoire.”
