"Good overall effort tonight and a nice way to start the week," stated Spartans Head Coach

Kornelia Wszolek (Stroudsburg, PA/Stroudsburg) and
Sophia Tyma (Bethlehem, PA/Lehigh Valley Academy) led the way at the front of the net with each recording 8 kills to pace the Spartans offense. Wszolek also added 2 service aces, 3 digs and 1 blocked shot.

Ocean falls to 1-3 overall and 1-3 in the Region with the loss.
The Spartans are back on the court on Wednesday, September 30th when they travel to Lincroft, New Jersey for a Region 19 match up with Brookdale Community College at 6pm at the Collins Arena.
