STUART — Tuesday’s West Central Conference volleyball contest between visiting Panorama and West Central Valley was a battle between a pair of winless squads. After four sets it was the host Wildcats who erased the goose egg in their win column, improving to 1-10 overall and 1-5 in WCC action with the victory.

The Panthers started well and posted a 25-18 win in the first set, but consecutive 25-19 wins from the hosts and a 25-20 win by WCV in the fourth set allowed the Wildcats to escape with the victory. Panorama will have an opportunity to collect their first win Saturday when they compete in the Southwest Valley Tournament in Corning.
