But by the slimmest of margins. And you can bet the next time they meet the Central Cyclones in league action, it’ll be another epic battle.
The Falcons took a 3-2 (26-24, 24-26, 21-25, 25-21, 18-16) victory in the first meeting of the two teams at Central on Thursday night, with Cornerstone improving to 2-0 on the season and the Cyclones falling to 2-1.
The contest was the first played in Central’s newly refurbished gymnasium, which recently saw the completion of an asbestos-removal project that also raised the facility’s ceiling several feet.
One other boys league game on Thursday saw the Vanier Vikings take a 3-0 (25-9, 25-11, 25-21) win over the Riverview Royals. Vanier improved to 2-0 with the win, Riverview dropped to 0-3.
The lone girls league contest saw the Central Cyclones down the Vanier Spirits 3-1 (22-25, 25-16, 25-14, 25-18). The win was the first of the season for Central (1-1) while the Spirits remain winless (0-3).
Both the boys and girls games between the Peacock Toilers and Briercrest Christian Academy Cougars were cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Caronport.
Girls league action continues Tuesday, Sept. 28 with Central at Peacock while the boys are back in action Thursday, Sept. 30 with Cornerstone at Peacock and Vanier at Central. All game times are 7 p.m.
