Though the big goals, especially a first-ever state Division I championship, remained in front of them, the Cicero-North Syracuse boys volleyball team has already made plenty of history in 2019.

When the Northstars defeated rival Liverpool Tuesday night, it completed a perfect 19-0 regular season, the first time C-NS has made it through a regular season without a loss.

The best part here was that the Warriors, vastly improved this fall, didn't make things easy for C-NS, nearly grabbing the first set before the Northstars, at 24-24, got back the serve and held on to it, winning 26-24.

And the second set was close, too, but again C-NS prevailed, 25-22, moving on to claim the third set 25-18 as Brandon Millias was sensational, amassing 42 assists and adding 12 digs.

Dan Seliger put away 19 kills, while Kevin Felasco earned 11 kills and 10 digs. Carter Wisely gained nine kills and nine digs, Trace LaRobardiere also earning nine digs. John McDonough contributed three kills.

C-NS is the top seed for the Section III Division I playoffs and will meet Fayetteville-Manlius in next Wednesday's semifinals, with Liverpool taking on Baldwinsville in the other semifinal at Liverpool Middle School that same night.
