WAKEFIELD — The Warrior volleyball team earned two more victories this week, sweeping Middlesex League foes Woburn and Stoneham by 3-0 scores and improving to 4-1 on the season.
Wakefield hosted Woburn on Tuesday night at the Charbonneau Field House. After a quick, 25-15 win in set one, the Warriors had to work for victories in the 2nd and 3rd sets, eventually winning them, 25-20 and 25-21.
Wakefield’s attack was led by senior captains Lila Arkinstall and Mia Kenny. Arkinstall dominated from the middle with a match-high 11 kills. She also added an ace, a blocked shot and 3 digs.
Kenny combined her 9 kills from the outside with a block, 3 digs and 14 serve receptions.
Following an early theme this season, Wakefield had a terrific game from the service line, collecting 8 aces including 3 from senior captain Tori Grace and 2 from sophomore Talia Galante.
The defense was led by seniors Brendia Diaz (10 digs) and Allison Cook (8 digs) along with Grace (8 digs) and Galante (7 digs).
Grace led the team with 32 assists.
Diaz led the team with 17 serve receptions.
After beating Stoneham on the road last night, the Warriors will play a back-to-back tonight at 6 p.m. with a non-league trip to Div. 1 Newton North. The Tigers are 4-0 and haven’t dropped a single set yet this season.
Wakefield will get back to Middlesex League play this Tuesday with a visit to another strong D1 team in Belmont (4-2).
