The boys’ volleyball team (5–3) took down the Walter Johnson Wildcats (7–2) 3–0 in a hard-fought match on Tuesday night.
The game was close from the start as the Vikes had to scrap for every point. The first set remained close most of the way, but Whitman’s defense held firm to take the set 25–23.
The second set was just as tight, with both teams exchanging points back and forth. The Vikes rode a late offensive surge to win 26–24.
Down 2–0, the Wildcats refused to go away in the final set and pushed the Vikings at each play. However, this didn’t stop Whitman’s momentum. A wild play by senior Will Swearingen secured the set 30–28 and the team swept WJ 3–0.
The Vikes look to continue their winning record at Seneca Valley (7–1) on Wednesday, April 23rd, at 7:00 p.m.
