The Stanton Viqueens volleyball team ripped off some big runs and ran away from the CAM Cougars in a 3-0 sweep on Wednesday night in Stanton. The Viqueens jumped out to a 6-1 advantage to begin the first set but CAM was able to battle back and eventually knot things up at 13 points apiece. Then the Viqueens ripped off the final 12 points of the set and won the opener 25-13.

Stanton then grabbed another early lead in the 2nd and used a pair of five point runs to take control of the set and win 25-15. Confidence seemed to fade at that point for the Cougars and they continued to make mistakes throughout the third and final set. Stanton scored the first 12 points of the set and pulled away for a 25-7 win to seal their victory.

Tara Peterson and Jenna Stephens were strong all night long at the net for the Viqueens. Stanton improved to 24-5 on the season and advance on to the 1A Region 4 Semifinals against Grand View Christian on Monday. That match is set to be played at Orient-Macksburg Community School with a 7:00 p.m. first serve Monday.

Zoey Baylor led the Cougars with 3 blocks and a kill on the night. CAM has their season come to a close with a record of 22-6.
