The Piasa Birds clipped past East Alton-Wood River 25-13, 22-25, 25-15 Tuesday at Piasa. The 6-0 start is the best since 2001, so this year’s team has incredible potential.

Southwestern junior Bailee Nixon had five kills and three service points and another junior, Mayci Wilderman, had four kills and three service points. Sophomore Brianna Roloff added three service points against the Oilers.

Southwestern head volleyball coach Julie Edwards said she thought her girls could have played a little better and didn’t work as much as a team as they usually do. She said overall, she is very pleased with her team and looking forward to playing Carlinville.

“We are struggling, but progressing,” said Patti Scott, the East Alton-Wood River head girls volleyball coach. “The girls are coming together and learning to play as a team.”

Southwestern travels to Carlinville for a Thursday night match.
