Fort Lauderdale -- Momentum is a precarious but important aspect of volleyball because it is difficult to maintain for an extended stretch.

Yet that was exactly what the St. Thomas Aquinas girls' volleyball team was able to do Wednesday night, as the Raiders got in a groove that carried them to a 17-25, 25-15, 25-15, 25-17 at Cardinal Gibbons in a matchup of two of the county's top programs.

After dropping their first match and trailing 14-10 in the second, the Raiders (10-1) had an 11-1 run to close out the second.

St. Thomas had runs of 7-0, 4-0 and 9-0 over the final two matches.

Raiders senior Kelly Marble had 14 assists and 12 kills, Lauren Spear recorded 22 assists and Taylor Miller chipped in 10 kills. Junior Crystal Dedes, a Gibbons transfer, added six blocks.

Sophomore Caiti Donahoe had a game-high 31 assists, 15 digs, six blocks and four kills for the Chiefs (14-2), and Jessica Wynn had 12 kills, nine digs and three blocks.
