FRUITPORT – Tuesday night’s non-conference volleyball battle between Fruitport Calvary Christian and Hesperia went down to the wire as the Eagles came out with a 3-2 win.
FCC got off to a good start, closing out the first set with a close 25-22 win before falling 25-19 to the Panthers in set two. The back and forth continued the rest of the night as the Eagles won the third set by a lopsided 25-14 score before taking a large deficit loss 25-13 in the fourth.
That brought the night into a fifth and final set that pushed into extra points. FCC was able to close out the overall win with a 16-14 win in that period.
