Comment on Celina wins volleyball district

BLUFFTON — It is no secret that the Celina volleyball team plays very well when it has the lead in a match. Shawnee was only able to grab the lead once – at 2-1 in the third set – Thursday evening at the Sommer Center on Bluffton University campus and the result was a 25-16, 25-21, 25-21 sweep for the Bulldogs that gave them a Division II district title. The Indians (14-10) fell behind 9-2 in the first set as the Bulldogs were able to neutralize Shawnee stand-out hitter Norah Painter and utilize their own outstanding group of hitters.
