FC looses 3-2 to the Riverdale Cowgirls, Oct. 21
FC hosted the Riverdale Cowgirls at home Oct. 21, hoping to win their second league game of the year.
With one league win under their belts the Eagles came out with confidence and fire in the first set, conquering 25-12.
In the second set, the Eagles lost some of their edge and focus yet still managed to maintain the lead, 28-26.
The Cowgirls gained tremendous amount of momentum in the third set and fought hard to beat the Eagles, 25-14.
Still ahead, the Eagles came out flat and were unable to find a foothold losing, 25-16.
In the fifth and final set, the Eagles were clearly ready to fight, both teams were neck and neck with each other for the majority of the set. However the Eagles still could not manage to stand their ground against the Cowgirls losing the set 15-13 and the match 3-2.
Senior Ashley Garcia is disappointed by the loss but hopes that the team learns from their mistakes.
It was really disappointing and frustrating to lose to them, especially coming in to it since we though we were going to win. So I think we just came in too confident.” Garcia said.
Head coach Johnathan Penberthy believes the team underestimated the Cowgirls.
“I think that this game sucked,” Penberthy said. “We underestimated them and they got the momentum, we just couldn’t get back on offense. We played defense for three games.”
