The Beacon Middle School volleyball team outlasted Mariner in an exciting slugfest 25-23, 25-14 at the Cape Henlopen High School gymnasium Oct. 24. Beacon’s B team also garnered a 2-0 victory.

“I was really proud of the way we played tonight,” said Mariner head coach Alison Herman. “They really played well against a strong Beacon team.”

“I thought my team kept their composure playing in a big gym at Cape,” said Beacon head coach Vince Failla. “I loved how they moved as a unit. These girls really understand the game and have come together as a unit. I’m proud of them.”

Beacon ends their season at 6-4 while the Vikings of Mariner finished at 4-7.
