Girls Volleyball: Balanced effort helps No. 8 Union Catholic win Union County Tournament title

Sometimes before a big match it’s best to find ways to ease the tension and anxiety.

The team made some posters, had a few laughs, completely calmed the nerves and it paid dividends on the court. Alexandra Kwasnik and Liv Szyszkiewicz both recorded five kills to help Union Catholic, No. 8 in the NJ.com Top 20, avenge last year’s loss and defeat No. 13 Westfield 25-20, 25-21 at Kean University in Union on Friday.
