EAST PROVIDENCE -- The week-long layoff didn’t hurt East Providence’s volleyball team on Friday night in its Division I playoff opener against Toll Gate.
The Townies rolled to a decisive 3-0 victory over Toll Gate, winning by scores of 25-13, 25-17 and 25-15.
“The kids were ready to play,” E.P. coach Alex Butler said after the match ended. “We scrimmaged Mount St. Charles on Tuesday and played pretty well. I think the week off kind of got to the girls. They were tired of waiting.”
The Townies, who won the North Division regular season title with a 17-1 record, made a couple of “early mistakes,” Butler admitted, before settling into a groove.
Amanda Cabral led E.P. with 7 kills, 12 digs and 2 aces. Kim Thomas added 5 kills and 5 blocks while Jessica Amaral chipped in with 16 digs and 2 aces. Alex Amaral finished with 16 assists, 15 digs and 1 ace off her serving.
The Townies will take on North Kingstown at 6 p.m. on Tuesday night inside the University of Rhode Island’s Keaney Gym in the semifinals of the Division I tournament.
“We’re going to practice and then play,” Butler said, speaking of the three-day layoff over the weekend.
