sports CORRESPONDENT

The visiting Seattle Christian Warriors handled the previously unbeaten Evergreen Lutheran Eagles with three straight game wins, 25-19, 25-23, and 25-18, to take the match Thursday.

The Warriors went to 6-3 overall while the Eagles dropped their first match of the season, a non-league one albeit, and are now 7-1 overall.

It was an easy victory for the Warriors because they were going against a team that had a lot of things go wrong.
