“We had a slow start, but picked it up and started to play our game,” she said.
Senior middle hitter Charlotte Olszewski led the team in kills, and sisters Reese and Rilyn Goluba held the service line with several aces.
The Tuesday win for the Lady Demons came on the heels of a 3-0 home win over Aspen on Monday (25-16, 25-20, 25-20).
In the non-league win, Glenwood had seven kills each from Olszewski, fellow junior Taylor Adis and freshman Rilyn Goluba, and five kills from junior Kenzie Winder.
