Senior middle hitter Mike    Fitzpatrick contributed a block and kill during the closing    spurt of the set.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Comets carried that momentum into the fourth set with a    14-1 run and won the set 25-10 to defeat the Sabers, 3-1, in a    Lackawanna League boys volleyball match on Tuesday.  <\/p>\n<p>    I think it took us about three sets to wake up, Abington    Heights head coach Jamie Spangler said. We were sleepwalking    in the first couple sets. When were able to serve aggressively    and inbounds, were a much better team overall. That was the    big difference.  <\/p>\n<p>    The fourth set run was sparked by senior outside hitter Kevin    Schumacher, who scored the Comets first point of the set and    then controlled the serve for 13 consecutive points to take    control of the match. Junior middle hitter Shreyas Chandragiri    and senior outside hitter Joe Dietzer each contributed two    points during the rally.  <\/p>\n<p>    Susquehanna closed to within 12 points at 20-8, but the Comets    rattled off five of the next seven points, including two from    junior middle hitter Griffin Joyce to close out the win. Joyce    led the Comets with eight kills and four blocks. Sean Salmon,    who led Abington Heights with 17 assists, also picked up an    ace.  <\/p>\n<p>    We started passing and picking up the ball a lot better,    Schumacher said. It was really a team effort. We just got in a    zone and everybody was playing the game well.  <\/p>\n<p>    Abington Heights took a 7-3 lead in the first set on a kill    from Dietzer. Susquehanna rallied to take a 14-13 advantage on    a kill from Steven Frye, but the Comets scored four of the    final five points, including a block and kill from Fitzpatrick,    to win the set 25-21.  <\/p>\n<p>    The second set featured 10 lead changes and Susquehanna scored    the final three points to even the match 2-2. Frye contributed    two kills and two aces during the set and Nick Lloyd, who    chipped in with nine digs, added an ace for the Sabers. Frye    led the Sabers with nine kills and three aces. Nate Carpenter    led Susquehanna with 11 digs.  <\/p>\n<p>    That 13 point run in the fourth set was too much for us,    Susquehanna head coach Bill Albert said. We have a young,    inexperienced team and it just got the better of them, but we    played great the first three games and were real happy with    that.  <\/p>\n<p>    Abington Heights (9-2) will travel to play Elk Lake on Thursday    at 5 p.m.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/timesleader.com\/news\/sports\/1353311\/Comets-use-a-pair-of-runs-to-top-Sabers&source=RSS\/RK=0\/RS=9Az.16IL3ctNUdqDag9bLhGtCU8-\" title=\"Comets use a pair of runs to top Sabers\">Comets use a pair of runs to top Sabers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> CLARKS SUMMIT In a match that didnt feature much separation throughout the first two and a half sets, Abington Heights ended the third on a 8-3 run to take a 2-1 set lead in their match against Susquehanna.
