Bailey Mines led River with 16 assists and she also had three aces. Defensive specialist Mary Hoye had 23 digs. Freshman setter Belle Stewart entered at the end of the second set, when River was trailing 24-23, and served two aces for the final two points of the set to give River the win.
River’s jayvee team also won in straight sets in a best-of-three, 25-10 and 25-10.
The Knights were scheduled to play at Floyd on Tuesday, but results were too late for publication. The girls will host Glenvar in a River Ridge District game next Monday. That was originally scheduled for Thursday of this week.
