Central keeps DVC title hopes alive; UPDATED

Naperville Central beat defending boys volleyball state champ Wheaton Warrenville South in three games in Wheaton on Tuesday night, meaning the Redhawks still have a chance to share the DuPage Valley Conferece title with Glenbard East.

In what must have been an exciting match for those in attendance (read: not me), Central lost the first game 31-29 before winning 25-23 and 25-14.

UPDATE: The Sun-Times was there. Here is what Central junior Dan Dierking had to say about being down a game and points in Game 2.

"When we were down (9-3 and 12-6 early in game two), we talked about how much we wanted a chance to win conference," Dierking said. "It was a matter of us not giving up and pushing through. We've been in that situation before. We stayed focused."

Central (28-6) is now 11-2 in the DVC. No word yet if the Rams (11-1 for now) won on Tuesday, which would lock up at least a co-championship for them.

This sets up a megahugeical match for Central vs. Glenbard East on Thursday. Yes, megahugeical.

UPDATE: The Rams wiped out West Chicago, 25-18, 25-14 to improve to 12-1 in the DVC and grabbed at least a share of the conference crown. I'm still sticking with megahugeical.
