A familiar foe awaited the Lexington High School volleyball team Thursday for its first round Class 5A playoff home matchup.
The Lady Wildcats were facing Dutch Fork for the 3rd time this season. They won the previous 2 Region 5-5A meetings in straight sets. 
The trend continued in the post-season as Lexington won in 3 sets 25-12, 25-15, 25-21. The Lady Silver Foxes, however, did not go quietly. They managed to rally from 10 points down to close the gap before Lexington won the final 3 points.
Lexington (32-7) will play host to Socastee Tuesday.
