Karnali Yashvis continued their winning start in the Everest Women’s Volleyball League as they defeated Lalitpur Queens in straight sets of 3-0 at the National Sports Council’s covered hall in Kathmandu on Wednesday.

Lalitpur, who ended Tuesday on the top of table with a 25-15, 26-24, 24-26, 25-23 victory over Madhesh United in the evening late fixture, started the day’s event on Wednesday and battled till the end but lost each set by a thin margin.

The victory also fired Karnali to the summit of the standings with eight points. Lalitpur, who have two victories, are on six points.
