Ruston volleyball resumed its winning ways on its home court Tuesday night against district opponent Pineville in straight sets by final scores of 25-3, 25-9, and 25-14.

Ruston improves to 17-8 overall as the postseason is only a few weeks away.

While Ruston was in control for the entire match, Ruston head coach Lucie Hunt commented that her Lady Bearcats are still working on things as the season goes along.

“I’m proud of the way we showed up,” Hunt said. “We had a little lull toward the end, but overall, we executed some things we had been working on recently. We have to maintain our energy through all of the sets. We are trying to implement some new things, and so those have to be clean across the board and not commit errors or miss serves.”

Ruston will return to action Thursday, Oct. 6, at Parkway to continue district play.
