    West Brunswick’s undefeated volleyball team ruled the first two sets, but once South Brunswick seized the momentum, the Cougars got stingy and never gave it back.
    South handed West its first defeat of the season in five sets 18-25, 16-25, 25-17, 25-18, 15-12 last Thursday night in the Trojans’ gymnasium.
    The victory was similar to the match last year in which South beat West to win the conference championship. South rallied from a 2-1 deficit to win the title.
