PARIS- For the second match in just 24 hours, the Paris Lady Eagles have swept their opponents in three straight sets. On Tuesday night, it was the Lady Eagles defeating Elkins in conference play to solidify Paris’s hold on second place in the 3A West. As was the case with their Monday non-conference match with Little Rock Episcopal, the Lady Eagles came out fast and ran away from Elkins in three dominant sets for the critical conference win.
With the win, Paris’s conference record improves to 9-2, and remains two games behind the conference leading Hackett Lady Hornets. Elkins, who entered the game in third place and one match behind Paris, sees their conference record drop to 7-4, two games behind Paris. With nine days left in the regular season, Paris has a road game left on Thursday at West Fork, and home games remaining with Lincoln and Green Forest. The conference regular season ends October 12.
The Lady Eagles appear to be playing some of their best volleyball of the season, peaking at the right time just before the post season. The Lady Eagles will host the Paris Invitational Tournament on Saturday before moving on the next week to play their final conference regular season games.
As a note for Paris volleyball fans, Senior Night is scheduled for October 12 prior to the Lady Eagles’ match with Green Forest.
