The Sycamore volleyball team came into Tuesday’s Interstate 8 Conference match at Kingman Gym against Ottawa on senior night needing a win to stay in the running for a possible share of the league’s regular-season title.

The Spartans (18-14, 6-3) scored seven of the final 10 points in each set to post a 25-21, 25-20 over the Pirates (9-21-2, 1-8) and kept a chance for championship alive.

Sycamore hosts co-leader Morris (7-2) on Thursday, while the same night La Salle-Peru (7-2) will travel to take on Kaneland (4-5).
