In varsity action, the Lady Vikings were dominant against a Thomas Jefferson club making its Western Highlands Conference debut in 2009. TJCA played a competitive first game with the Lady Vikings, as the score remained within a two-point difference for much of the affair. Avery pulled away late, however, using its strong service and return game to post a 25-20 set victory.
The Lady Vikings settled into an offensive rhythm in the second contest and seized control early and often as they made quick work of the Lady Gryphons in a 25-9 final score to lead two games to none.TJCA made a better showing for itself in the third and final game of the match, but the Lady Vikings were simply too strong and too talented for the Lady Gryphons to overcome as Avery closed out the match with a 25-16 win and clean 3-0 match sweep.
The Lady Vikings will be in action this afternoon in a pivotal 1A home match against the Lady Bearcats of Hendersonville. Junior varsity action will begin at 5 p.m., with the varsity match starting shortly following the conclusion of the JV match.
