When Merk kills, South wins . . . and it happened again

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.
