Seneca Valley volleyball handles Butler, looks for deep postseason run
JACKSON TWP — With all hands on deck, the Seneca Valley boys volleyball team is eyeing a deep postseason run.
The Raiders closed the regular season with a 3-1 victory over visiting Butler Thursday night. SV will enter next week's WPIAL Class AAA playoffs with an overall record of 12-4, including a 9-3 effort in Section 2.
“We're getting healthy and that will help us with getting our legs back under us,” said SV coach Dan Follett. “Hopefully, with injuries out of the way, we still have our best volleyball in front of us.”
Butler, which had taken the first two games against Seneca Valley before falling 3-2 last month, proved to be the sharper team in Thursday's opening game.
A kill and block from Cody Schnur and another kill from Nash Bryan helped the Golden Tornado create breathing space late in a 25-21 victory.
“I thought our passing was more consistent in that game,” said Butler coach Lew Liparulo. “In the next three, we gave up a few runs to Seneca and that was the difference.”
