PURCHASE LINE, NORTHERN CAMBRIA FALL SHORT IN PIAA VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY

The Red Dragons took the first set, 25-17, dropped the second and third by scores of 25-22 in both, then won the fourth, 25-23 before dropping the final frame, 15-11. Fort Cherry’s Emily Pfender cranked a kill for what appeared to be the game-winner, with her team surging out onto the court, but a net violation negated the point, so Pfender had to do it again, and did.
