The Lady Lions moved to 4-1 in the district with another clutch victory, sweeping second place Crandall, 3-0, 26-24, 26-24 and 25-23 to take over sole possession of second. Now 19-12 overall, HC Kelly Henderson’s squad was led by the serving of Kiera Walker, who fired four aces among her 17 serves.
