Sep. 27—West Vigo entered Monday's high school volleyball clash at Terre Haute South winless through its first 20 matches this season.
Going against the host Braves, who often resemble a well-oiled machine when they're firing on all cylinders, the Vikings weren't likely to stop their losing trend . . . and they didn't.
Yet they still played hard — and fairly well in the first set — but South prevailed 25-16, 25-9, 25-9 as 6-foot Lilly Merk posted five kills while playing only in the first set and Mia Loyd was honored for surpassing the 2,000-assist mark for her career before this PINK Out match benefiting the PINK of Terre Haute organization.
