With first place on the line in Bay Village, the Rockets were dominant in defeating Midview 3-0.

Bay had trailed Midview by 1/2 game in the West Shore Conference going into the contest, and wasted no time in seizing control of the contest.

The Rockets won 25-11, 25-16 and 26-24, and Katie McFeeley was a dominant passer for Bay with 43 assists in the victory.

With the win, Bay now takes control of the West Shore Conference, and Elyria Catholic's 3-0 win over North Ridgeville, a win in which the Panthers only lost 19 points all match, vaulted them into a second place tie with Midview.

Bay has won 10 in a row and has a chance to put things out of reach potentially when they face EC on Oct. 11.

Midview's remaining schedule includes matchups Vermilion and North Ridgeville, which are the two worst teams in the WSC.

But this win was humongous for Bay as they have now put themselves in the driver's seat for the WSC title.

The two-time defending WSC champions may have lost their first conference match this season since 2008, but they still have a great shot to take the West Shore once again.

It will all come down likely to that Bay-Elyria Catholic showdown in two weeks.
