Central Catholic (2) defeats Barlow Wednesday, October 17, 2007

Central Catholic's Lily Wygal gets up over the ball Oct. 16 in the Rams' 25-12, 25-17, 25-17 win at Barlow.

Last night, the second-ranked Rams traveled to Barlow for a meeting with the Bruins. Not surprisingly, Central Catholic cruised past their opponents 25-12, 25-17, 25-17.

After a sloppy first game, Barlow showed moments of competence in the remainder of the match. Combined with a few lapses of concentration on the part of the Rams, the Bruins stayed close for much of games two and three.
But despite an enthusiastic home crowd, Barlow didn't have the depth to really threaten Central Catholic.
