“I like the way we’re playing right now,” coach Rachelle Huxford said. “Everything is clicking for us. It’s a total team effort. Everyone is contributing at a high level.”

Routing Sloan Canyon 25-10, 25-11, 25-18 during a fundraiser for the Sorenson family, whose youngest son, Henry, is currently battling Ewing’s sarcoma, the Eagles made sure to keep their composure, despite the festivities.

“I was very proud of how the boys handled the night,” Huxford said. “There were a lot of people in the crowd to support Brady’s family. Once the boys settled down into the match, they played very well.”

Leading the way for the Eagles, Sorenson generated 15 kills, while O’Shaughnessy added eight.

Rose fueled the winning effort with 38 assists, while Zwahlen added nine digs and seven aces.
