The Airline Lady Vikings clinched a share of the District 1-I volleyball championship with a 25-17, 25-16, 25-11 victory over West Monroe on Wednesday at BPCC.
Airline improved to 26-10 overall and completed district play 11-1. Ruston (33-8, 10-1) closes the regular season Thursday night against West Monroe. If the Lady Bearcats win, Airline and Ruston will share the district title.
