DENISON -- Denison stayed in a tie with Royse City for first place in the District 13-4A volleyball race with a 25-16, 19-25, 25-22, 25-21 victory over Greenville on Tuesday night.

"We've got to play more aggressive," said Greenville coach Melissa Anderson, whose Lady Lions dropped to 14-15 for the season and 4-3 in district play. "They're hitting at us and we want to chip it to them."

Emelie Kilgore led the Lady Lions with nine kills and three service aces.

MacKenzie Cooper finished with six kills and six blocks.

Maygan Bloyed added four kills and Jenny Hardaway had five kills.

Shanterria Riley set for 16 assists.

Greenville's junior varsity lost, 14-25, 25-18, 25-22.
