With both teams taking two sets, the excitement in the gym was noticeable with standing ovations for almost every point scored in the 5th set. Though the match was won by LSRV, the Lady Tigers showed their heart and teamwork.
Head Coach Robin Brown said, "I had several girls, particularly Cora Schroeder and Allison Bromley, that really stepped into the leadership role. They focused on team control, specific feedback and bringing energy to the court. The team has been working really hard on their court presence and energy. We really did see this throughout the whole set. Even though it didn't end the way we wished it would have, we showed growth in our skills and communication."
The Lady Tigers will be home and away for the upcoming weekend's volleyball games. On September 17, the Lady Tigers travel to Rock River to face the Lady Longhorns. The very next morning, they host the Farson/Eden Lady Pronghorns at 10 a.m. in the Encampment K-12 gym.
