The girls played with confidence to take the second set 25-20 and a 2-1 lead. The fourth set was a marathon set that had some great hustle and effort plays from both teams that we dropped 28-30. Tied at two sets apiece the final set was a dramatic affair with both teams having multiple match points. We were unable to put the ball away when we had our chances to end the game and fell 18-20.
