The Buckeye Valley girls volleyball team added another chapter to its already stellar season, blowing past visiting Hebron Lakewood in straight sets to punch a ticket to next Thursday’s Division II district semifinal at Westerville Central.

The fourth-seeded Barons will get sixth-seeded North Union next and, if they play anything like they did in Thursday’s 25-13, 25-10, 25-6 win over the 13th-seeded Lancers, have a good chance to improve upon a magical season which already includes 22 wins, a perfect run to a Central Buckeye League title and a sectional championship.

BV was locked in from the start.

Alia Schoonover hammered home a kill to set the tone, giving the Barons an early 4-2 edge. Lakewood (6-17) took a brief lead on a Baron hitting error, but a kill by Jera Hoy evened things back up, 6-6, in the early going.

The Lancers hung around, but an ace and kill by Taylor Harning on back-to-back points helped the Barons take an 11-8 edge they parlayed into the lopsided opening-set win.

Another kill by Harning after a long back-and-fourth rally ballooned the margin to 19-12, forcing a Lakewood timeout. A few points later, a kill by Carlie Osborne set up match point before an ace by Schoonover sealed the deal.

The second set featured more of the same as Buckeye Valley cruised early and poured it on late.

Schoonover started the second set the same way she started the first — with a kill — before back-to-back Lakewood hitting errors, a kill by Harning and ace from Hazley Wagner made it 10-1. The Barons led by as much as 14, taking a 20-6 edge on a well-place touch shot by Wagner later in the set.

The Lancers tried to climb out of the hole late, getting a kill by Charlie Palmer to cap a 4-0 spurt and make things a little closer, but a kill from Schoonover set up match point before Hoy won it with a swerving serve Lakewood couldn’t handle.

The Lancers scored the first point of the third set, but the Barons reeled off the next seven to take control. An ace by Schoonover made it 10-4 and Hoy capped a 5-0 run with one of several third-set kills. Another Hoy kill made it 20-5, a Lakewood hitting error set up match point and Wagner sent the Baron fans home happy with a kill to seal the deal.

Thursday’s district semifinal showdown with North Union is slated for 7 p.m. at Westerville Central.
