Sep. 18—HENRYVILLE — Christian Academy won its second straight Henryville Invitational title Saturday.

The Warriors swept the host Hornets 25-11, 25-22 and Medora 25-9, 25-12 in their first two matches before outlasting Lanesville 21-25, 25-10, 15-3 in the final. Those were the seventh, eighth and ninth consecutive victories for CAI.

"We had a couple good wins in our first two matches of the day versus Henryville and Medora. Our serve is such an important part of our success and in pool play we finished with 31 aces," CAI coach Chrissy Millen said. "We went on to play Lanesville in the championship match. They consistently have a good team and it is so much fun to play them. The first set was close late and we got away from our game plan and Lanesville capitalized on it. Thankfully, about halfway through the second set we got into a rhythm and started rolling again. Much credit to our success behind the service line, we were able to win the second and third sets. We were aggressive and did a fairly good job of keeping Lanesville out-of-system. Sophomores Maycee Hoefler and Regan Barth swung well for us, picking up five kills each."

Karlyn Denny led the way on the day for the Warriors with a triple-double (21 assists, 17 kills, 10 aces). Ella Peach added a team-best 30 assists while Kristen Abbott had a team-high 10 aces.

Meanwhile, the host Hornets did sweep Medora 25-17, 25-18.

CAI (14-7), which visited Madison on Monday night, will host Lanesville on Tuesday night.

Henryville (4-16), which hosted Salem on Monday night, will visit South Central on Tuesday night.
