SOAP LAKE - Soap Lake earned its first win of the year with a five-game nail biter against Liberty Bell 25-27, 25-22, 29-27, 21-25, 16-14.
The Eagles improved to 1-2 with the win.
"The girls never stopped," head coach Christina Harvill said. "They never slowed down. They just pushed through the whole game.
"Never gave up and kept their intensity up through the whole thing."
Nelly Korneychuk - who missed Soap Lake's five-game loss to Bridgeport due to an illness - was reinserted into the lineup and had a banner night for the Eagles.

"Esther really came in huge for us serving tonight," Harvill said. "She finished serving for us in each game that we won."
