TUPPERS PLAINS — The Eastern Lady Eagles are one game away from taking back the TVC Hocking crown. Eastern (18-3, 8-1 TVC Hocking) defeated the defending TVC Hocking champion Waterford Wildcats (13-7, 7-2 TVC Hocking).

Eastern came back after losing the first game, 18-25, to win three straight for the victory. Scoring in games two, three, and four were 25-13, 25-17, and 25-14.

On Senior Night, the Eastern Seniors led the team to victory. Sami Cummins led the team in scoring with 12 points on the night. Kasey Turley led the team in both kills and blocks with 13 and 12 respectively. Lauren Cummings, Karissa Connolly, and Whitney Putman round out the seniors for the Lady Eagles.
