Eastern took a huge step in the conference race last night as the Lady Comets defeated Peru in a five game thriller. Eastern improves to 3-0 in the conference with the 15-25, 25-13, 23-25, 25-16, 15-8 win. Peru drops to 2-1 and will have to play catch-up with Hamilton Heights and Eastern.
The win ties Eastern with Hamilton Heights at 3-0. These two team will meet next Tuesday at Eastern.
Peru took an early two game lead and looked destine to put themselves in the conference race, but Eastern refused to go away by dominating games four and five.
Chelsea Wilson continues to dominate the MIC with 19 kills, 13 blocks and 11 service points. Haley Maverick and Kayleigh Lindsay had 11 kills apiece and numerous digs.
Eastern (9-5, 3-0) will host Cass on Thursday while Peru (5-7, 1-2) will host Wabash on Thursday as well.
