News Staff Reports

Third-seeded Big Walnut’s Divi­sion II Cen­tral Dis­trict vol­ley­ball run ended in a four-game 21–25, 25–13, 20–25, 23–25 set­back at the hands of sixth-seeded Amanda-Clearcreek in last Thursday’s Dis­trict semi­fi­nals at Wor­thing­ton Chris­t­ian Mid­dle School.

Alexis New­man (17-for-19), Abby Painter (14-for-21), Natalie Chat­ter­ton (12-for-16) and Kylee Williams (10-for-10) led the Golden Eagles serv­ing attack against the Aces. Mor­gan Alley was 9-for-11 and Claire Chat­ter­ton was 8-for-8.

Painter recorded a team-high 4 aces while Alley, New­man and Natalie Chat­ter­ton added 2 apiece.

Natalie Chat­ter­ton paced Big Wal­nut in kills with 12 fol­lowed by Kalynn Bow­mar with 8, Painter 7, Alley 6 and Claire Chat­ter­ton with 5 kills.

“I thought our girls played hard and com­peted well,” Golden Eagle head coach Ron Lehman said. “Natalie (Chat­ter­ton) and Kalynn (Williams) hit well out of the mid­dle, but our out­side hit­ters were not very effec­tive and that was our down­fall. It was a tough way to end the sea­son, but we had a good year in the OCC.”

The Golden Eagles, who fin­ished 16–6 over­all, cap­tured the Ohio Cap­i­tal Con­fer­ence Cap­i­tal Divi­sion title with a 13–1 record.
