Morgan Academy rebounded from a tough loss Thursday to defeat East Memorial Christian Academy in three sets, 25-9, 25-13, and 25-16 on Friday in Prattville.

The victory pulled the Lady Senators even at 1-1 on the season, and marked the first-ever volleyball coaching win for new Morgan head coach Kayla Mason.

Morgan was led by seniors McKenzie Williams and Cassidy Lawrence. Williams paced the Lady Senators with a match-high seven kills, and Lawrence chipped in with four service aces and nine assists.

The win came just 24-hours after the Lady Senators opened the season with a close, gut-wrenching loss to Tuscaloosa Academy in three sets 26-24, 25-22, and 26-24.

Against EMCA, Morgan was not to be denied. They opened big leads in each set before cruising to victory over the Lady Wildcats.

Morgan’s next game is at home against Lowndes Academy on Monday at 5 p.m.
