District 9-6A leader Wylie made it 14 straight wins Tuesday night with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-15, 25-16) triumph of Garland from the Montgomery Center.

Wylie led 9-8 in the first set and 8-6 in the second set before proceeding to finish each set in convincing fashion. A kill by senior Karson Barclow sparked a 16-5 Lady Pirates run to end the first set. Sophomore Keelyn Green notched a kill that jump-started a 17-9 Wylie run to end the second set.

Barclow and Green each had 10 kills in the win, while senior setter Taylor Johnson racked up 30 assists to accompany six kills.

Barclow, Green, Annie Tucker and Sadie Warren were honored prior to the start of the match as part of senior night.
