Ruston High picked up a sweep at home Monday night over Captain Shreve by final scores of 25-11, 25-18 and 25-18.
The Lady Bearcats (14-10) fell slightly behind early in each set but fought back each time to take comfortable leads down the stretch. The Lady Gators made the match a little interesting in the second set, but Ruston pulled away late for the set win.
“I thought we played very consistently tonight,” Ruston High head coach Mandy Cauley said. “Playing tough competition (over the weekend) forced us to do that. “(Captain Shreve) started serving tougher in the second set, but we were very consistent on serve/receive tonight, and I’m proud of how we played.”
Senior outside hitter Harper Cauley led the Bearcats with 13 kills, while sophomore Ava Crowe added five kills and a block.
Sophomore middle blocker Jane Ramey also had a solid night with three kids and three blocks.
Sophomore Baylor Cauley finished with 20 assists and four aces in the match.
Ruston will host the Episcopal School of Acadiana in a make-up match from earlier in the season Thursday, Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. in the Ruston High School main gym.
