Area roundup: Prep volleyball rallies to advance
VOLLEYBALL
St. John's Prep 3, Lowell 2: The St. John's Prep volleyball team was not expecting to lose its first two sets of the Division 1 North state tournament last night. But like a true championship contender, the Eagles shook off the cobwebs and rallied to win three straight to top Lowell, 3-2, and advance to the sectional semifinals. Lowell won the first two sets, 25-19 and 25-22, before the Prep rallied and won the next three 25-9, 25-20 and 15-9 to take the match. "Being down 2-0, we said 'Don't look at the scoreboard and play every point like it is the last point.' We were a different team after that third game," said Eagles coach Scott Celli. Junior setter Sean Brennan controlled the pace with 44 assists and junior outside hitter Brian Keogh handled the finishing with 19 kills. The Eagles (18-3) will host Methuen tomorrow at 7 p.m. for a berth in the North final. The Rangers upset No. 2 Lawrence last night to advance. -
