It was a night of triumph for the Cedar Ridge volleyball team, who defeated Orange 3-2 in a thrilling match at Panther Gymnasium. It was Cedar Ridge’s first win over the Lady Panthers since 2016, a span of five matches. Julie Altieri had an ace on match point to culminate the most successful week in recent team history. On Tuesday, the Red Wolves defeated three-time defending Big 8 Champion Chapel Hill 3-2. Altieri and classmate Cameron Lloyd were teammates with Orange’s Erin Jordan-Cornell on the Chapel Hill Area Volleyball Club last spring. On Thursday, they were on opposite sides of the net. Cedar Ridge won despite losing junior Layne Foster with an injured quad in the 2nd set. Cedar Ridge now sits atop the Big 8 with a 3-0 mark going into Monday’s nonconference match against Bartlett Yancey in Hillsborough.
