Girls Volleyball: Stone Bridge Sweeps into State Semifinals on 20-Match Winning Streak

Ashburn (Nov. 16, 2011) - In the second set Tuesday of the AAA girls volleyball state quarterfinals at Stone Bridge High School, a James River outside hitter watched a ball hit her foot as it dropped out of bounds. That play, and plenty of Bulldog shots that hit the middle of the court, pretty much summed up the match as Stone Bridge swept James River, 3-0 (25-16, 25-20, 25-13).

Stone Bridge (28-2) rolls into the state semifinals Thursday at 7 p.m. on a 20-match winning streak but the Bulldogs will have their work cutout as they faced unbeaten Kellam (31-0), the team that beat Stone Bridge in last year's state finals.
