BURLINGAME — Strong serving propelled Crest’s Lady Lancers to sweep Burlingame Tuesday.

The Lady Lancers (8-2) won by scores of 25-27, 25-9, 25-14, 26-28 and 15-5 with an 89% serving rate.

Having a full varsity squad on the floor helped immensely, said Crest head coach Abigail Hermreck.

“For the first time we had our full squad, I am beyond excited,” said Hermreck. “We still have work to do, but I am confident that the girls are willing to push even harder toward team goals. They are playing for each other and that is pretty special.” 

All the girls had strong serving games, Hermreck said.

“Burlingame was scrappy and had several hitters that could get a hold of the ball,” said Hermreck. “We stayed focused on getting the pass and feeding our hitters. We had a few moments of overthinking, but overcame mistakes quickly and stuck to the things we do best.” 

Crest will match up at the Iola Invitational volleyball tournament on Saturday at 9 a.m.
