BALTIMORE, Md. – Freshman Myrtice Jackson (Mergenthaler HS) had a match-high 10 kills and teammate Rachael Griffith (Western HS) recorded a match-high 20 assists as the Baltimore City Community College volleyball earned its first win of the season in a 3-0 (25-18, 25-20, 25-13) defeat of Cecil College.

Cecil managed just two more points the rest of the way.

The Lady Panthers were ready to seal the deal in set 3 as they started on an 8-0 run. They led by as many as 11 points (20-9) at one point. A service error by Ewig ended the set at 25-13 and gave the Lady Panthers their long-awaited first victory.
