Wittenberg-Birnamwood’s girls volleyball team went 3-1 at a preseason tournament at Stevens Point Area Senior High.

“SPASH always hosts a great preseason tournament,” Chargers coach Becky Rew said. “Overall, we played well. We had a few up-and-down moments, but that is expected this early in the season. Our scrappiness and serving were big reasons we won three out of the four matches.”
