Ravotto aiming for deep tourney run

VB: Fifth-year senior not ready for Valparaiso volleyball career to end

CHICAGO - Carin Avery turned to the referee and calmly asked for a timeout, even if there wasn’t anything calm about what the Valparaiso volleyball coach was feeling at the moment.

The Beacons were already down two sets to UIC in the regular-season finale on Wednesday night and now the Flames had rattled off seven straight points to start the third set.

Avery rose from the bench and began walking toward the Valparaiso huddle, ready to give the players a piece of her mind.

Bella Ravotto beat her to the punch.
