The Lady Eagles completed the sweep with a 25-22 victory in the final set.
“They are a very experienced, good team, who threw a lot of stuff at us,” Clark coach Robyn Curry said. “It will only make us a better team to be able to play a team like Scott. I was pleased with our ability to hang in there with them and be competitive. You don’t improve playing teams you can easily beat. We have played three strong teams to open our season, and I am pleased so far with our play. After last night, we have a better understanding as coaches and players what we need to improve on and what better competition brings to the game.”

Clark’s top two golfers, Blake Cartwright and Ross Todd, got the “day off,” but will compete in the Madison¿County Invitational this weekend in Richmond.

I am glad that we were able to go down there and get the win with our top two guys out. Some of the guys that usually don’t get to play a lot were able to step up and shoot really good rounds for us.”
