The Kirtland Hornets Volleyball team defeated the Perry Pirates 3-0 in their home opener on Wednesday night.

“Today, we actually looked pretty good keeping them out of system,” said Kirtland Head Volleyball Coach Ricky Sanders. “They (Perry) had a really strong outside hitter (Madison Miner) She’s going to get her kills. But we just got to tone it down and don’t let her get on.”

The match began with Kirtland winning the first game, 25-18.

Kirtland started game one quickly by taking a 7-4 lead and then shortly thereafter went ahead 17-11.

Perry battled back in game one to make the score 22-16.  

Kirtland then got the game one victory after the teams traded points.

In the second game of the match, Kirtland got an excellent serving performance from senior Katy Reynolds.

Reynolds helped Kirtland take an early 8-1 lead in the second game.  

Kirtland then extended their lead to 12-3. 

Then Kirtland went up 24-14. But Perry regained possession on a kill by junior Madison Miner. 

Kirtland then won the second game 25-15 to go up 2-0 in the match.

Kirtland then won the third game, 25-19 to win the match 3-0. 

With the victory, Kirtland moves to 2-0 on the season as they defeated Geneva in their season opener on Tuesday.

The Hornets next return to the court on Monday, when Chagrin Falls travels to Lake County to take on Kirtland.

Perry will next travel to Ashtabula on Monday to take on Lakeside.
