No. 17 Cleveland Heights Beaumont Holds off No. 4 Norwalk for the Div. II
volleyball crown
DAYTON, Ohio �
In its second consecutive trip to the state tournament, 17th-Cleveland Heights
Beaumont School for Girls held off a valiant effort by fourth-ranked Norwalk

down 15 kills with a .306 hitting percentage, junior Molly Davet (10 kills;
14 digs) and senior Lauren Youngblood (eight kills; 12 digs). Senior Katie

kills; 14 digs) and Geena Freriks (11 kills). They also received solid
contributions in the final game from junior Abby Moffit (42 assists; 14
