Freshman
Leah Oyewole also had double-digit kills with 10, and fellow freshman
Avery Kinzer had seven.
Sydney Broussard served up four of the Lady Friars' six aces.
Charlotte Hain (23),
Alex Galicia (12), and
Jenny Canavan (11) were big defensively, each tallying double-digit digs. Galicia set 26 assists and
Elizabeth Edwards assisted on 14 points. Freshman

The Lady Friars are on the road again tonight for their final non-district contest, a 6:00 pm matchup at TCA-Addison. District play begins Tuesday in Plano when the team faces John Paul II, also at 6:00 pm.
