The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team started their title defense on a high note over the weekend.

The Spartans captured the Sun Prairie Invite title on Saturday with a 7-1 overall record. The tournament started with pool play where the Spartans defeated DeForest 25-7, 25-11; Beaver Dam 25-17, 26-24; Manitowoc 18-25, 25-22, 15-12; and Sun Prairie 25-20, 23-25, 15-13. They suffered their first loss in well over a year to Edgewood 20-25, 21-25. That set up bracket play where they first beat Watertown 25-21, 25-17 and DeForest 25-17, 25-16 before taking out Pewaukee in the championship match.

Across the 10 matches, Emma Johnson collected 149 assists while Autumn Flynn scored on over 70 kills. Brooke Vande Hei led the way defensively with 65 digs.
