SHALOM CHRISTIAN 3, BROADFORDING 1 >> It wasn't easy for Shalom Christian in a Mason-Dixon Christian Conference quarterfinal against Broadfording, but the Flames had a strong defensive game and earned the victory.
Shalom will play in the semifinals on Saturday at Grace.
"Broadfording definitely gave us a run for our money tonight," Shalom coach Katie Gantz said. "Our girls can get quite lackadaisical sometimes, and Broadfording capitalized on that during the second and third set."
After winning the first two sets, 25-6 and 25-21, the Flames (15-2) were taken down, 25-20. They came back strong to complete the victory, 25-7.
Haley Bricker led a very well-rounded defense with 29 digs. Bethany Blank (19), Brooke Kuhns (19), Paige Hoover (14) and Lexy Poe (13) were all big contributors. Poe led the offense with 14 kills, and Bricker finished with 11 kills and eight service aces.

CUMBERLAND VALLEY CHRISTIAN 3, CALVARY 1 >> After losing the opening set 26-24, Cumberland Valley Christian came back to defeat Calvary in a Mason-Dixon Christian Conference quarterfinal.
"We started out a little slow tonight; we didn't serve as well as we normally do," CVC coach Carole Rosenberry said. "However, the girls improved on their passing and hitting, keeping Calvary scrambling for balls and unable to get a good offense going. They played hard tonight and kept up their intensity."
Brianna Miley had 15 kills for the Blazers while floor captain Loryn Sanders had 28 assists, six aces and four kills against Calvary.
CV Christian will play in the MDCC semifinals on Saturday at Grace Academy against an opponent to be named later.
