Wellsboro Varsity Volleyball head coach Sharon Zuchowski picked up her 100th career win as the Lady Hornets swept Wyalusing 3-0 on Tuesday, October 17.
"It has been a privilege to be able to come back to Wellsboro and coach in a program that started me off in the sport," reflected Zuchowski after the match "I played for, and then coached under, the very successful Coach Anne McNaight. I am grateful for what she taught me and have tried to use some of those same principals even though the game has seen so many changes. These wins came off the hands of some very talented young ladies. It was a great win for this team tonight as we finish up our regular season and start thinking about Districts."
After being swept back on September 21 in Wyalusing the Lady Hornets returned the favor on their home court Tuesday. Wellsboro took the first set 25-16, won the second 25-19 then hung on to win the third 25-22.

Senior Cheyenne Sherman had 16 digs, 10 points, 1 ace, and 5 kills; senior Jillian Graver recorded 8 points, 1 ace, and 5 kills; and senior Brianne Keane made 29 assists, scored 8 points, and had an ace.
