With the possibility of a fifth set looming, Whitehouse bounced back to close out Canton in four by taking the final set 25-14.
Play between the two programs' JV teams was extremely competitive as Whitehouse managed to outlast their Eaglette counterparts 25-23, 16-25, 20-25.
The freshman teams competed in a doubleheader with Whitehouse taking the first match 25-17, 25-4. Canton's freshman bounced back in a big way during the second match, taking a 25-20, 16-25, 25-16 win over the Lady Wildcats.
