On Tuesday, Oct. 5th, the Ovid-Elsie Marauders Varsity Volleyball team traveled to Durand to play the Railroaders. In three sets, O-E came out with a win. Winning this game was huge for the Marauders after going three years losing to this team. Ovid-Elsie had a great game offensively and defensively, everyone filled gaps and covered for one another and the defense read the ball very well. The setters were hustling to the ball on and off the net and working hard to get the ball up. Hitters also had a great game finding holes and being big at the net with multiple blocks. This game moved the Marauders to 5-0 in conference as well as making the conference champs.
