TA hands Cheverus first loss in volleyball showdown

PORTLAND—Thornton Academy's volleyball team has been waiting nearly a year to avenge last year's playoff upset loss to Cheverus, so an early deficit Tuesday evening at Keegan Gymnasium wasn't about to derail the Golden Trojans.

After falling behind with a 25-19 first set loss, Thornton Academy trailed by a 14-8 score in the second game and then, it came to life.
