The Abbey, which won its first Conference Carolinas championship to advance, ends its season with a 15-8 record.

Andrew Kohut (10 kills, 6 digs), Matteo Miselli (9 kills), Brennan Davis (28 assists), Daniel Cerqua (6 digs) and Brian Long (6 kills, 2 aces, 1 block) led coach Nolan Albrecht’s team.

Penn State improved to 22-3 with the victory.

 

Pro baseball

Gastonia’s Wes Helms will finally get to make his Class AAA Charlotte Knights managerial debut on Tuesday when the team opens its 2021 season at Jacksonville.

Helms guided the Class AA Birmingham Barons to a 64-72 record in his first year as a manager in 2019.

The Knights will play a 142-game schedule, including 70 home games at Truist Field in uptown Charlotte.
