Both Parkland and Liberty battled through rough patches on Thursday night in the EPC Semifinal.  Fortunately for the #1 seed Trojans, they were able to close out the match late for a 3-1 (25-13, 25-21, 23-25, 25-19) win.  Josh Nation (So. OH) fought off some cramping issues in set 3 which opened the door for Fred Patton (Jr. OH) to step in offensively while Rahul Jaspara (Jr. DS) handled the defensive assignment.  Chase Robbins (Sr. OH) lead the way offensively with 25 kills and 10 digs while Nation still managed to contribute 10 kills and 6 digs.  Will Stiles (Jr. S) dished out 48 assists and added 10 digs.

24 hours after playing their last EPC match of the season, the Trojans welcomed Delaware Valley for their last regular season match.  Fortunately for the Trojans, their momentum from the Emmaus match carried over as the Trojans took the match 3-0 (25-17, 25-17. 25-14).

Chase Robbins (Sr. OH) paced the offense with 12 kills and 6 digs while Owen Rogers (Jr. OPP) hammered home 7 kills. Brady Hayward (Jr. MH) and Luke Smith (Jr. MH) added a combined 7 kills and 4 blocks.  Ahad Jaffer once again anchored the defense with 9 digs.

Next up for the Trojans is the EPC Semifinal on Thursday where they will face the winner of #4 Freedom and #5 Whitehall.  That semifinal match will be held at Allen HS, most likely at 7:00 pm.

In the most anticipated match of the year, arch-rivals Parkland and Emmaus stepped on the floor, both still undefeated in regular season play.  After the rowdy crowd dispersed, the host Trojans walked out of the gym with the 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 25-20).  Josh Nation (So. OH) exploded for 16 kills, 4 aces, and added 3 blocks.  Chase Robbins (Sr. OH) added 14 kills, 2 blocks, 2 aces, and 11 digs.  Will Stiles (Jr. S) dished out 41 assists.

Next up for the Trojans is the last regular season match of the season against Delaware Valley at home.  JV 5:30 pm / Varsity 6:30 pm
