Miscues and mistakes were costly for Bell County on Tuesday as Corbin rolled to a 25-16m 25015 victory over the Lady Cats.

In each game, Corbin used big runs midway through to turn a close contest into a rout.

Erika Warndzinski keyed the onslaught with two aces in three points. Three straight Bell County errors put Corbin ton top 19-10 and an ace by Andria Shirar pushed the lead to 22-11 and brought a timeout from Bell County coach Amy Hunt.

Bell staved off game point with the help of three straight Corbin errors, two of which were forced by the strong serves of senior Kristen Money.

Luwanna Phipps picked up a kill as Bell tried to rally, but the game ended on a Lady Cat service error to put Corbin up one game to none.

Bell got off to an early start in the second game as Money served the Lady Cats to a 3-1 lead. Corbin quickly claimed the lead, but Phipps tied the game at 6-6 as the quality of play took an upswing.

Bell again tied the game at 7-7, winning a long rally and went up 8-7 on a hard serve from Angela Turner. Turned followed with an ace for a two-point lead.
