JV Volleyball locks horns with Urbana, emerges on top
When the JV teams from Centennial and Urbana took the court, they knew one of them would be emerging with their third loss. Centennial was 24-2 with 17 straight matches won - all in a perfect two sets. Urbana also had only 2 losses after more than 20 matches played.

At 8-14, the Chargers began a service run to tighten the score to 13-14 before a service error gave the Tigers back the momentum. The Tigers ran up the score to 13-20 before the Chargers could reestablish their game - and bring the score to 18-20. After trading a point or two at a time, Urbana earned a first set point attempt at 22-24. After siding out, Centennial fought back to a 25-24 set point. Urbana had an opportunities at 25-26, 26-27, 27-28, 28-29, and 29-30 before the Chargers had a second set point opportunity and converted to win the set 32-30.
In set two, the Chargers again relinquished an early lead falling to 0-4 before quickly pulling back to 5-5. No team led by more than two with a number of lead changes until the tie at 18-18. Centennial pulled away to 18-20 and did not allow Urbana to come any closer, winning 25-20.
