After falling behind two games to one, the Eagles beat the Hawks 25-4 in the fourth game, with team captain Dustin Medford scoring 20 straight points on the serve. The Eagles then won the final game 15-5 to take the match. “Co-captain Grant Shetley played unbelievable ball in a stunning display of athleticism,” said coach Preston Bennett.
