Smithtown West played a third set that may contend for its worst of the season, but Taylor Marsh’s dominance helped orchestrate a brilliant comeback shortly after.
Marsh had 25 kills as host Smithtown West defeated Smithtown East, 25-17, 19-25, 14-25, 25-22, 15-9, in non-league girls volleyball on Friday night.
Marsh made an impact at the net and behind the service line for West in the fifth set. She had two aces and five kills, including the final point on a kill that struck a defender and went out of play.
“We were hungry for this after having our first loss last week,” Marsh said. “We’ve been in fifth sets before, knowing every point matters like it’s the winning point.”
Kalia Wheeler had 46 assists and Nicole Zarcone had 15 digs for West. Skyla Sullivan had 17 kills and Gracyn Cata
