Saint Stephen’s volleyball team added another notch to its record-setting season Thursday in St. Petersburg.

The Falcons rolled past Shorecrest 3-0, winning by scores of 25-23, 25-18, 25-14 to improve to 18-4.

“We’ve never won that many,” said coach Nancy Cothron, whose team set the record when the Falcons won their 16th game of the season.

Sisters Morgan and Melissa Johnson had nine kills. Lauren Johnson, of no relation, had eight kills, and Maggie Holbert had 27 assists and three aces.

Cothron also credited the defense and passing of Brooke Cornetet, the Falcons’ defensive specialist.

Saint Stephen’s has clinched the second seed for the Class 2A-District 11 tournament, which begins Monday, Oct. 26 at Out-of-Door Academy.

In JV action, the Falcons lost 2-1 — 25-17, 22-25, 15-3 — to fall to 3-6.
