MARENGO – With matches against Burlington Central and Cary-Grove looming this week, Hampshire’s girls volleyball team easily could have looked past Marengo on Monday.

But the Whip-Purs beat the Indians, 25-17, 25-11, to stay undefeated in the Big Northern Conference East Division, setting up a showdown Wednesday at home against Burlington, which also is perfect in BNC East play.
