The Lady Knights volleyball team hosted Kalida and Antwerp in a non-conference tri-match on Saturday, and Crestview came out on top in both matches to bring its overall record to 8-1, while the Knights are 2-0 on Northwest Conference play.

Game scores against Kalida were 25-22 and 25-17, while the Knights won 25-10 and 25-12 against the Lady Archers.
