FAIRBORN - The reward for a third consecutive trip to the Ohio Division III girls state volleyball semifinals for Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy was a date with undefeated Liberty-Benton.
Liberty-Benton sported a roster of five 6-footers and Penn State commit Karis Willow at 6-foot-4. Izzy Granger at 6-foot is a Toledo commit. CHCA was unable to win a set with Liberty-Benton advancing to the title game 25-20, 25-17, 25-21.
"They're big, they're physical and we didn't have an answer for that today," CHCA coach Lisa Schaad said.
Schaad, who coaches with the Elevation club program, said her girls have seen such height and skill before, but not often. Plus, they do scrimmage the likes of Division I Mount Notre Dame, Ursuline, Mercy McAuley and others.
