In three close sets, Vernon College swept Weatherford College in a conference volleyball match Thursday, 25-23, 25-23, 25-20. 

The loss dropped WC to 16-7 overall and 8-2 in conference play. Fortunately for the Coyotes, Hill College lost at Temple College Thursday, so Weatherford and Hill remained tied for first place in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference. 

WC's Selanny Puente registered 11 kills and five digs at Vernon. Abby Folson had 20 assists and three digs. Meagan Ledbetter totaled 15 digs.
