"I was so proud of our program last night," Carthage coach Chloe Allmoslecher said. "Every single team battled. We played aggressive and as a team. They are playing really good volleyball right now, which is the perfect time of year that you want your team to be playing their best."

On Senior Night, Carthage recognized Ava Bourgault and Riann Schwartz.

"These two have been influential to our success and are key leaders of our team," Allmoslecher said. "I am so proud of them both."
