Gloucester volleyball outlasts Triton in five sets, then sweeps Georgetown

Gloucester's volleyball team had to go the distance at Triton on Monday. It came away with its second win in a row.

The Fishermen beat the Vikings 3 sets to 2 in Byfield on Sept. 28. The set scores were 14 to 25, 25 to 21, 8 to 25, 25 to 23 and 15 to 13, according to the MaxPreps box score.

Gloucester lost the first and third sets by wide margins. It answered each time, then took a tight fourth set and edged Triton in the deciding fifth.

The win followed a sweep of Minuteman at home Sept. 24, by scores of 25 to 23, 25 to 23 and 25 to 16. Before that, Gloucester had lost 3 to 0 at Whittier on Sept. 21.

Triton fell to 1 and 8.

Gloucester made it three wins in a row Wednesday night, sweeping Georgetown on the road 25 to 13, 25 to 17 and 25 to 23, according to MaxPreps. The Royals are 0 and 10.

The Fishermen are 4 and 5 overall. The Triton, Minuteman and Georgetown matches were all nonleague, so Gloucester remains 1 and 2 in the Northeastern Conference.
