Two games in two days isn't an easy thing for a high school volleyball team to handle, but don't tell that to the Syosset Braves. The Braves kept both their win streak and consecutive set streak alive with a 3-0 victory over East Meadow on Tuesday at Syosset High School. Syosset faced some adversity in the third set, trailing 19-18 at one point, but won seven of the next eight points to earn the 25-8, 25-22, 25-20 win.
