The Emporia High volleyball team split its Senior Night triangular Thursday night.
After defeating Great Bend 25-21, 25-22 in the first match of the night, the Spartans had the task of taking on Hillsboro, the top-ranked team in Class 2A.
Hillsboro swept the Spartans, 25-19, 25-23, despite EHS nearly rallying back to force a third set.
Coach Ping Wang says they’ll learn from the match against the Trojans.
The Spartans are now 22-7 on the season. They’ll travel to Topeka to face Topeka High and Topeka West on Tuesday.
