The Hornets set the tone in game two, beginning with an ace serve by Ashley Edmondson to grab a 1-0 start. The Hornets never let up, leading the entire game and knotting up the match with a 25-20 win.
Finding the team rhythm, Harper breezed through game three with a 25-19 victory and took the match with a 25-15 win in the final and fourth game.
Harper will next travel to Ontario on Sept. 3 to meet the Tiger junior varsity squad on Sept. 3.
