The Liberty Hawks girls volleyball team had to rally from a 2-1 deficit to win the final three sets and record a 3-2 set victory over former league rivals at Liberty.

The Hawks won the fourth set, 25-22, before closing out the Kerman Lions with a 15-9 win in the fifth set Tuesday. Overall, Liberty outscored the Lions 110-100.

In a rare pretty clean match from the service line, the Hawks did just enough. Both teams recorded 14 aces. However, the Hawks missed only five serves and the Lions missed eight.
