STRONGSVILLE OH- Since the end of last season, Wellsville has longed for a second chance at Monroeville. Coming in to this season, Wellsville and Monroeville had built quite a tournament rivalry. They’d met in two of the last three regional brackets, and the Eagles have gotten the better of the matchups. Last season it was a 4 set victory.  It took Wellsville 28 games, but they have finally locked in another archipelago with Monroevillle with state on the line.  Now the teams will meet for the third time in four years. The Tigers got there by sweeping Ashtabula St. John in the semifinals. (25-19 25-13 25-11)

Presley Stokes racked up a monster double double finishing with 27 kills, and 15 assists.  Bella Poppelriter led the teams in assists with 22, and served up a pair of aces.  Alana Amato was in double figure kills with 15, while leading the team in aces with 6.  Aubri Ramsey led the back row for the Tigers with 9 digs.

The rematch with Monroeville is slated to start at 2:00 on Saturday at Strongsville High School.  The winner of this match will pack their bags for Wright State for the State Semifinals on November 10th.
