After falling in the first set, 26-24, the Olympia High girls volleyball team won three straight sets in convincing fashion — 25-18, 25-29 and 25-14 — Thursday, Aug. 22, to send the visiting Seminole High Seminoles back to Seminole County with a 3-1 loss.

Leading the way for the Titans was junior setter Madison Wehr and her 34 assists on the night, finding outside hitter Mia Diouf for a team-leading 20 kills. Diouf also led the side with five aces. Junior libero Eliza Perdue also was crucial to the win with 25 digs, 18 serves received and six assists; as was senior Kiersten Rose’s 31 received serves.

After topping another Seminole County foe on Tuesday, Aug. 27, Lake Mary High, Olympia now has a 3-1 record on the season.

Next up for the Titans is the fifth annual Nike Tournament of Champions from Friday, Aug. 30-31 at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center in Gainesville.
