DUKE CENTER — Needing a victory to qualify for the upcoming District 9 Class AAA playoffs, the Bradford volleyball team took care of business.
After topping Johnsonburg the night before, the Lady Owls handled Otto-Eldred in straight sets (25-16, 25-16, 25-19) Wednesday night to finish the season at 7-7.
Bradford has two more matches next week (against St. Marys and Kane), but those will not count towards the playoffs.
Alex Asp led the Lady Owls with 17 kills and eight blocks, while teammates Laney Kahle (27 assists, five blocks) and Erica Marshall (27 digs, five kills) also had strong matches.
For Otto-Eldred (12-6), Reilly Raught had six kills, two blocks, and an ace. Emmalee Sheeler added 14 assists, five digs and two aces while Jade Spinney chipped in nine digs and four kills.
Otto-Eldred hosts Smethport tonight.
