It looked so easy it wasn’t even funny Sept. 12.

Everyone got in on the act, as Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond’s serving and multiple weapons stifled the Sullivan hosts 25-9, 25-5.

The highlight of both sets for Arthur was from the service line.

Sophomore Taylor Powell responded with three aces after giving Sullivan its first point of the night. Two more of the eight points the Knights had were off Abby Duzan aces before Sullivan called a timeout 8-2.

There was no escaping the serves for the Redskins after the timeout. Madison Brown tore off four aces in a row--and was very close to a fifth-- before an ace and kill from Powell finished off the first set.

Powell finished the night with a team high five aces--followed by Duzan with four-- three kills and two digs.

“Our aggressive serving really threw Sullivan’s offense off,” Knights’ head coach Emily Crossman explained. “It was our best offensive strategy of the night.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
